A charming vintage Frank Cooper Oxford Marmalade Jar, beautifully decorated with traditional fishing flies against a crackled cream ground.

Produced by Frank Cooper Ltd, Oxford, England, the renowned makers of Oxford Marmalade, this attractive pottery jar combines the appeal of classic English advertising pottery with country sports interest. While originally associated with Frank Cooper’s famous marmalade and preserve products, the jar’s unusual fishing fly decoration makes it a particularly desirable example.

The detailed angling fly motifs, warm ivory glaze and attractive crazed finish give the piece a wonderful country house character. Perfect for use as a brush pot, desk tidy, utensil holder, small vase or simply displayed amongst a collection of English pottery, fishing memorabilia or advertising wares.

A delightful and increasingly sought-after piece of vintage Oxford pottery with both marmalade and angling appeal.
