Large Two Pound James Keiller Dundee Marmalade Pot

This is a great example of the slimmer version of the 2lb James Keiller advertising Dundee marmalade pots, dating from the turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries.

These white ironstone James Keiller Dundee marmalade jars were all handmade by Maling in the late Victorian period. The company produced their marmalade pots in a variety of sizes, and this is the taller slimmer 2 pound version.

As most pots were discarded at the time, they often have spots of discoloration, minor hairline cracks, minor chips and varying shades of crazing. However, this adds to their charm as highly decorative pieces. Considering the history of these pieces, the condition of these pots is very good.

This pot has a few scuff marks and areas of stained crazing. This is more notable around the top rim of the pot, and there is also a stain on one side.

Commonly used to store kitchen utensils, this is also perfect for use as a vases, plant pot or to store artists paintbrushes.
