Former advertising jar for extra-fine jams from Maison Julien Damoy, decorated in blue-green with an elegant Art Nouveau floral frame. It bears the mention "Maison Principale, 31 to 35 boulevard Sébastopol - Paris" and that of numerous branches in the Paris region and in the provinces. The stamp under the base identifies the K&G factory in Lunéville. The extended address on boulevard Sébastopol allows this model to be dated between the expansion of the house in 1893 and its new extension in 1906.
