THIS VICTORIAN STONEWARE STORAGE JAR dates from the 1880s. Its proud history is detailed on the front with impressed lettering and a ROYAL COAT OF ARMS in relief.
It reads: C & A PAINTER, PURVEYORS TO HRH THE PRINCE OF WALES. SHIP & TURTLE TAVERN 130 LEADENHALL STREET 1 PINT
It would have held TURTLE SOUP.
Charles & Adolphus Painter were the Licencees of the Ship & Turtle Tavern in London’s Leadenhall Street where, according to Peter Cunningham’s Handbook of London 1850 “some of the best turtle in London is to be had”.
London’s famous ‘Cheese Grater’ building now stands on the site.
The condition of the Jar is good with no restoration. There are the expected nicks to the top rim and a thin, surface chip to the foot rim.
