I jug up this old jar a few years ago whilst constructing the foundations for my house. I placed it in a box and forgot about it until a few weeks ago; when I came across it again going through some bits and pieces in the garage. I remember the day I discovered it. We were digging the strip footing for the house and I spotted it in the bucket of the J.C.B. - It was encased in clay - to be honest, we could have easily damaged it but when we cleaned it up, it was in A1 condition. I guess it must have been buried for for a long time, so it would be good to find out any information about its age etc.
I have attached some photographs...
There are no markings on the base, but there are some markings on the front of the pot (next to the image of a tiger?/lion?/lynx? that seem to look like Tam or Jam – however, It is in perfect condition and looks too old to be an old jam jar. I have tried to identify it through internet searches, but without success.
Any help would be appreciated!
