An impressive 3 lb Dundee jar, the largest size used for James Keiller & Sons marmalade in the late 19th century. These large-capacity containers were intended for families or businesses, hence their significantly larger volume compared to the 1 lb and 2 lb sizes. The black printed decoration, featuring the 1862 London Medal and the iconic wreath, illustrates the marketing of British producers during the Victorian era. Examples of this size are sought after for their presence, their substantial silhouette, and their historical role in the original food packaging.
