Lidded French LaLorraine Jar Measures Approximately 11” tall x 3 1/2” diameter at the base and 2 1/2” at its mouth opening.
Jar may contain crazing, spots of discoloration and minor chips and fleabites that only add to its character and do not detract from its display value. These are expected due to age, use and being buried for decades and then being dug up and rescued.
Rare and in good age appropriate condition, these make beautiful jars are great for vases individually or in large groups running down the center of a large table or displayed in a windowsill to enjoy their beautiful coloring. I enjoy displaying these with my personal ironstone collection.
I have been sourcing these wonderful English Curiosities for over 12 years from friends who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and doing serious antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.
Returns are not excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
