Arts & Crafts Silver Preserve Pot Corrnell / A. E. Jones. Original Handblown Jar

A handbeaten, Arts and Crafts preserves pot from my collection of arts & crafts items. This stunning mustard /jam / preserves pot is adored with threaded rope decoration, pot lid and what is incredibly rare for this pots- the original hand blown glass inner jar.

This fantastic silver plated pot is stamped "Connell, 83 Cheapside". Connell's was a highly regarded firm which was situated at 83 Cheapside from 1845 until it went into voluntary liquidation in 1939. Connell's of Cheapside have been described as "pioneers of modern artistic silverware" (Pudney, Silver Society Journal 11), one of the few traditional London dealers that promoted the Arts and Crafts movement. Much of their silver was produced by WH Haseler, William Hutton & Sons and AE Jones.

This item is attributed to arts & crafts pioneer A.
