Charming antique white glazed ceramic lawn bowling jack, also known as a “kitty,” bearing the original black JAQUES LONDON maker’s mark.

Traditionally used in the English game of lawn bowls, the jack serves as the target ball that players attempt to roll their larger bowls closest to.

A lovely addition to a collection of antique games, English country house accessories, sporting memorabilia, or vintage curiosities. Beautiful displayed in a wooden bowl, on an antique bookshelf, or among other collected treasures.

The jack is in very good condition with soothing light glazing. Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive.
These are authentic antique pieces sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antiques from antique flea markets or from our many established sources for over 12 years.
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 traveling the countryside 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.
Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
