Pair Antique Ironstone Jam Pots by Creil et Montereau
Pair of French antique tea-stained and crazed ironstone jam pots or preserve pots. The smaller pot is white while the larger one is a sort of beige/grey after a century or more of aging. In the past these pots were quintessential pieces in French kitchens for storing jam, etc, and these days are still just as useful for items such as utensils.
Both pots were manufactured by Creil et Montereau and are circa. late 1800s to early 1900s.
