This is antique jam pot, likely dating to the late 1800s. The stoneware crock probably contained Hartley's Jam or Marmalade, a product of England. I have seen other Hartley jars on the internet that have similar ridges and the indentation around the upper rim. My father found the vintage jar in the ruins of an old southern plantation in Virginia more than 40 years ago. The vintage preserves crock is in nice condition, free from breaks or cracks although the bottom rim is rough around the edges. There are traces of a marking on the bottom, but it has worn away and is illegible. The old crock measures about 3.25" tall and 2.5" wide.William Hartley of Lancashire, England, began producing jams in 1871, then moved his factory to Liverpool in 1886. His jams were so popular, Hartley's became the world's largest producer of jam in 1907. The company ceased using pottery in 1929. Eventually, the company was taken over by Schweppes and is still produced today.
