Morton's London Jar

[web44ca]

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?

The jar is a nice one and listed in the red book as # 2210 and is reported as having an unmarked glass stopper or a cork stopper (as per the Fruit jar works) and is Canadian. (would not be considered a wax sealer)

Thanks Coreya for your reply ... don't understand calling the jar Canadian? ... it is from London ... does your red book provide market value or would you have an estimate.

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.

These jars are also found in Australia and although not common they do turn up every so often.The colors range from a light Blue to almost Cobalt.
