Here we have an extremely rare canning jar from a Philadelphia potter who was in operation for only a short period of time from 1854 to 1860. The design of this jar is unique to this potter Arthur, Burnham & Gilroy. This jar measures 6” in height, by 4” wide at the base and 4 3⁄4” wide across the rim. Yellow ware canning jars were mass produced by potters during the mid-1800s as every home needed them for food storage until they were replaced by glass canning jars. Very few potters signed their canning jars. When most of these jars were damaged they were simply thrown away as they were not perceived as having any value. This jar is in near mint condition with only a small chip on the bottom of the foot rim and an air bubble in the clay on the rim that popped in firing. Marked canning jars by this potter are extremely rare and are seldom found in any condition. This canning jar is a great piece of yellow ware and would be a valued addition to any country or yellow ware collection.
