This fernware vesta (match) holder was made in Scotland circa 1870 as a holiday gift or token. The paper banner reads "Merry Xmas/Happy New Year" and is in excellent condition as is the rest of the printed paper covering. There is a bone ferule at the top to hold a small piece of straw called a spill that would be lit by one of the matches stored inside and struck across the emery paper on the bottom. The height is 1-3/4 inches, the diameter is one inch.

The hand-painted fish and marine flora are tactile and exceptional on this Doulton jar, made in England circa 1890. The finely wrought fittings are silver plate, marked only with the number 13. The ceramic jar measures 4 inches in height and about 3-3/4 inches in diameter and has a printed mark, a faint impressed mark and the painter's cipher on the base. Originally used as a condiment jar with a fish set the jar also is appropriate for preserves, sauce or honey.
