Rose (Rose Bud trade mark) Bud / Creamery Butter / J. Ireland , Newcastle. M base mark. Household Preserving Jar One pound, Aqua Wide Mouth screw top jar. 73 mm. 1890s
Very Good. This is a very crudely made jar. Internally and externally there are some unusual swirls on the surface from manufacture which add to the crudity of this jar. It is very lightly hazy throughout, has been oiled at one stage, as evident by the odour. At the top of the left hand seam there is a chip only 6 mm long and about 1.5 mm deep, from this there extends a discoloured fracture 13 mm along the top in one direction, 13 mm in the other direction, but this does not come down from the top any further than 6 mm (running in line with the top thread). Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $900 - 1000
