Antique Wedgwood JASPERWARE STYLE LITHO TIN Don Confectionery Sheffield England

Description: BLUE WEDGWOOD JASPERWARE CANDY LITHO TIN This listing features a bold though subtle advertisement using the iconic Wedgwood blue and cream jasperware style. This lithographed and raised image tin was licensed by The Don Confectionery Co., Ltd in Sheffield, England from Wedgwood and is available here, thanks to my grandmother's estate. A tag left inside the tin dates it to the Edwardian era (1900—1910), before the First World War, but research cannot confirm this and it could have been earlier. It measures 2 inches tall by 5 1/2 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches long and is in relatively good condition considering its age. The 2 hinges still operate very nicely. The lid is decorated with a raised lady and doves being serenaded by Cupid with a lyre. All four sides have complimentary palm urns, floral swags, and bow-tied ribbon decorations. This motif was likely designed to attract attention for “THE EXTRA SPECIAL DON HEART-C-GUMS” by the extra classy consumers (or those who aspired). Once the tin was opened, there was nothing subtle about who made the fabulous contents or how delicious it would be. Please see the photos of the tin’s interior panel for a taste of what sophisticated, state-of-the-art advertising looked like to the Edwardians. Don't miss the charming note scratched in the tin on the bottom. I can just make out, “Fancy Hotel ______ Decoration” and it was written in my grandmother's hand. This tin is an intriguing one to be sure! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer different shipping options for your budget & peace of mind ~ choices are available before purchase. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out other uncommon items from three generations of our family as we downsize.
