Collecting preserve pots, jam pots and honey pots

shorter floral jam pot

Jam pots, preserve pots and honey pots were all made to hold your favourite spreads on the table. Some were meant for the jam jar to fit inside others are for the preserve to be put straight into. Some have spoon shaped cut outs in the lids and others do not. 

 There is a huge range of these collectable pots available and as they are small and stand easily on their own they are easy to collect and display well. A collection would certainly make a good converstaion piece in the kitchen or dinning room.

Antique preserve pots from the victorian era and vintage preserve pots through to the 1950s and beyond were made by all the major staffordshire potters. They come in all shapes and colours. Some collectors specialise in preserve pots fron a particular era or manufacturer whilst some just collect say Honey pots with bee’s for finials. Starting at just a few pounds these are a collectable for those with limmited funds as a collection can be built without spending a fortune.

The two pots pictured are currenly available from antiquesavenue on ebay
