Adorable J. Hoare Mustard Jar in Hindoo- SOLD |
Small pieces like this are quite rare as many of the American companies imported foreign pieces to sell for their lines. This mustard jar is cut in J. Hoare’s Hindoo pattern.
The Hindoo pattern runs down the side of the jar starting with large hobstars and fans. The rest of the pattern is comprised of deeply cut scallops divided by deep notching and shallower zipper cutting. Both the base and top of the jar are finished with a rayed star. The lid also has a slot for a serving spoon.
Again, small American pieces like this are rare and difficult to come by. The jar measures 3 3/4″ tall and 2 3/4″ wide. It’s in perfect condition.
