Graham Slater Collection
Sometimes referred to as ginger jars, the intended function of these vessels is unclear. The distinctive, small handles are quite inadequate for carrying and perhaps accommodated string to secure a cover. See a related jar with its cover in the Longridge Collection, illustrated by Leslie B Grigsby (2000), D127. The acorn shape was popular at this date as a turned knop on silver, furniture and wine glasses, see lot 168 in this sale.
