This object stands at about 2 3/4 inches tall with a 3 inch diameter. It is earthenware pottery and is an off-white color with a shiny glaze finish. The outside is mostly smooth with vertical ridges that create a pattern, while the inside is completely smooth. The bottom of the artifact is marked with symbols, lettering, and incomplete words such as "PHarley's Label" and "UNL" followed by what looks to be an "ES" and below it, "ARING"
There is also a symbol with an "M" flanked by two "F"

Ceramic

The Hartley company manufactured jams and marmalades in distinctive earthenware jars, such as this one here. Sir William Pickles Hartley founded the company in 1871 in England, which gained much popularity in the country. Eventually, it became a regular export to other European countries. Several factories were established throughout England, and Hartley's jams entered the London market. By 1912, his company was the largest jam manufacturer in the world. Today, it remains as Britain's leading brand of jam.
