Vintage Fiesta & Harlequin Pottery Marmalades & Mustard Jars | Circa 1936-1943

Both the Vintage Fiesta covered marmalade and mustard jars were in production for a short ten years, from mid 1936 to mid 1946 (with red being discontinued in early 1943). The larger marmalade was originally designed as the mustard, but someone at Homer Laughlin must have had the forsight to see that was an awfully large jar for mustard! Attention turned to the design of the mustard, which after numerous revisions was finalized and then the marmalade (originally named the honey jar) was finished. The bodies of both would have been slip cast holloware with the seams smoothed by hand. The finial would have to be hand applied to the marmalades and the lid worked on the jiggering machine to add those bands of concentric rings we love so much. The spoon slots would have been punched by hand from the lid before the clay dried. Marmalades will be marked in the mold. Both pieces are scarce and hard to find in good condition. It is speculated that they were either speciality items or not big sellers since they appear to be quite scarce.
