Hi Dolanbadger
unfortunatley these were not designed to have a pottery lid,,they were sealed with greaseproof paper tied around the top,that is what the groove on the side is for..
These jars contained jam or marmalade and were used from 1900 - 1930s
Hartleys also do a larger jar with the lighthouse trademark transfered on the front of it.
These jars have no real value in the Uk and are buried again when found , on a 1920s site you could find 30+ in a day..
Hello grimdigger1.
Thanks for the interesting info.This was probably the first piece of stoneware I ever dug,thought it was neat and now I know a bit about it.
Thanks again.[]
