{"product_id":"vintage-aynsley-wild-tudor-ginger-jar-small-hexagonal-fine-bone-china-spice-pot","title":"Vintage Aynsley Wild Tudor Ginger Jar, Small Hexagonal Fine Bone China Spice Pot","description":"A beautiful vintage Aynsley Small Hexagonal Ginger Jar with its original matching lid, decorated in the discontinued Wild Tudor pattern.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe recognised specialist description for this particular form is the Small Hexagonal Ginger Jar \u0026amp; Lid. Its compact size means it may also be usefully described as a spice jar, small storage pot, tea caddy, sweet jar or decorative lidded trinket jar.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe jar has a rounded body divided into six softly defined sides, a matching hexagonal foot and a removable conical lid topped by a rounded finial. The geometric base and body distinguish it from Aynsley’s similar round Wild Tudor ginger jars.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is decorated with the characteristic Wild Tudor arrangement of colourful English garden and wild flowers. The design includes pansies, rosebuds, thistles, blue flowers and smaller blossoms in shades of pink, red, purple, yellow, blue and green. A coordinating floral motif also decorates the lid.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGold-coloured trim surrounds the edge of the lid and the top of the finial, adding an elegant finish to the white fine bone china.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe underside carries the blue Aynsley crown backstamp reading “Est. 1775, Aynsley, Wild Tudor, Fine Bone China, Made in England.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWild Tudor was produced from approximately 1991 to 2001. This dates the jar to the 1990s or very early 2000s, making it approximately 25–35 years old.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe jar would make an attractive decorative spice or storage pot, although it is not labelled for a specific ingredient. It could also be used to hold wrapped sweets, jewellery, keepsakes, dried potpourri or other small items.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt would look beautiful displayed on a kitchen dresser, mantelpiece, shelf, dressing table or alongside other Aynsley Wild Tudor pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nItem Details\u003cbr\u003e\nMaker: Aynsley\u003cbr\u003e\nPattern: Wild Tudor\u003cbr\u003e\nExact specialist or catalogued description: Small Hexagonal Ginger Jar \u0026amp; Lid\u003cbr\u003e\nNominal specialist size: 4-inch form\u003cbr\u003e\nAlternative useful description: Spice jar, small storage pot, tea caddy, sweet jar or lidded trinket jar\u003cbr\u003e\nItem type: Small decorative lidded ginger jar\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Fine bone china\u003cbr\u003e\nCountry of manufacture: England\u003cbr\u003e\nPattern production period: Approximately 1991–2001\u003cbr\u003e\nEstimated era of the individual piece: 1990s to very early 2000s\u003cbr\u003e\nExact date: Not known\u003cbr\u003e\nShape: Rounded six-sided body with a hexagonal foot\u003cbr\u003e\nLid: Removable conical lid with a rounded finial\u003cbr\u003e\nDecoration: Multicoloured English garden and wildflower design\u003cbr\u003e\nFloral details: Pansies, rosebuds, thistles and smaller flowers with green foliage\u003cbr\u003e\nLid decoration: Coordinating floral spray\u003cbr\u003e\nColours: Pink, red, purple, yellow, blue and green on a white ground\u003cbr\u003e\nGold or other trim: Gold-coloured trim around the lid edge and finial\u003cbr\u003e\nBackstamp: Blue Aynsley crown backstamp reading “Wild Tudor, Fine Bone China, Made in England”\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal sticker or foil label: None visible\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate height: 4.5 inches including the lid and finial\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate width: 3.5 inches at the widest point\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate depth: 3.5 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate opening: 2.25–2.5 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate base width: 2.75–3 inches across the hexagonal foot\u003cbr\u003e\nSuggested uses: Decorative ginger jar, spice jar, sweet jar, tea caddy, jewellery pot, keepsake container or collectible china display\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGood vintage condition overall.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNo obvious chips, cracks or repairs can be seen in the photographs.
