Status: offline 		Here is another recent find ... the English J.T. Morton salt jar ... this is my second one ... a richer blue than the first ... the first one I sold on Ebay & it went for a song ... will hang on this example until I see a better appreciation for them.

My question ... is this salt jar considered a wax sealer?

Status: offline 		The jar is listed as canadian (more than likley for the canadian market as it was a product jar) my book shows it as blackish blue in quart size at 75 -100 with the stopper being 25% value. more than likley a little less or more nowadays as my book is #9

Nice jar. I dug one that had an amethyst hue to it and was quart size. What size is that one?

The product office may have been in London and the jar made in Canada.
Here's an old thread from Bermuda.

Nice jar even if somewhat common.

Could you give us the complete transcription of the embossing, please? It is a British Jar. J.T. Morton were Preserved Provision Merchants/Manufacturers. C & E Morton was the successor. Is there a registration mark?

"Jar; a large, stoneware jar, glazed cream and brown. Stamped on the shoulder: "J T Morton, Provision Merchant, 107, 108, & 109 Leadenhall Street, London"." From Owaka Museum, New Zealand.

See this earlier thread from jettbottles, and it's links.

"Type 8. J.T. Morton. Leadenhall St London
JT Morton was a general provider and his marks appear on a range of store goods contained in various sized bottles and jars. Morton's bottled fruits, pickles, jams, salad oil, sauces and castor oil were advertised in Perth from 1870 to 1920. In 1900 C E Morton took over the business and it became a limited company in 1914 to 1915.
1870-1900" From.

Ozbottles has one (un-pictured) with stopper, "16.5cm tall (Including Stopper) x 10cm wide, Roll Lip, Wide Mouth, Squat, Shouldered Cylinder "FINE TABLE SALT/FROM/J.T. MORTON/LEADENHALL STREET/LONDON", Mid-Blue, "823" on Base, Complete With Original Mid-Blue Glass Stopper, stained" From.




"Above: A photo of Tinsmiths at work inside Morton's premises on the Westferry Road." From.

MORTON LEADENHALL STREET LONDON " " 823 " on bottom ... there seems to be a bit of confusing in regards to this jar ... there were many Mortons in business in the 19th. & 20th. cent. ... one American Morton from Chicago ... started 1848 ... also in salt ... they bought out the Canadian Salt Co. in 1954 ... seems like some referance books are mixing up their info. on the Mortons.

Hey Ron,

And he was a "J" Morton, as well. "J" for Joy Morton. This ain't his doing.
