The Dundee jar in the 1 lb size, in its more slender version, was used in the late 19th century for the famous James Keiller & Sons marmalade. This model is distinguished by its particularly legible black printed decoration, featuring the 1862 London Medal and the 1873 Vienna inscription, emblems of the international awards received by the brand. These jars were produced in large quantities for the British market and reflect the evolution of food packaging during the Victorian era. The taller examples are prized for their elegant proportions and crisp design, typical of the early decades of production.
