Title: Edward Moore Pattern 261 lidded pot
Post by: neilh on December 22, 2023, 10:22:59 PM

Identified from the Edward Moore catalogue, this is an odd one. It is on the same page as lidded sugars but it has an isolated pattern number and sits alone in its range.
It has a hole in the lid for a spoon or somesuch.

There is a very similar item in the Molineaux Webb catalogue which again has an isolated pattern number.

Which suggests this is a rare and distinct item for the table - honey pot? mustard pot? preserve pot?

Nice one. What size is it, as that would help determine use?

Height is 6 inches, 4 without the lid.

Here is the equivalent item in the Molineaux Webb catalogue

Jam/marmalade I suspect. Too big for mustard, as that was made in small quantities because it dries out and/or loses its flavour quickly. Honey pots tended to have built-in or seperate saucers to catch dribbles
