Vintage James Keiller Dundee Marmalade Milk Glass Jar with Replacement Lid, Obear-Nester White Glass Kitchen Canister

This is a vintage milk glass marmalade jar made for James Keiller & Son Ltd. Dundee Marmalade, marked on the bottom with the Obear-Nester Glass Company N inside a square.

No chips or cracks were found. The glass keeps a glossy finish with light age wear and a few faint scuffs, and the interior is clean. It comes with a white screw on replacement lid that fits securely but is not original to the jar.

It stands about 5 inches tall and 3 inches across, in opaque white glass, with mold numbers 171 and 19 on the base. It works as a kitchen storage jar or as a piece of advertising glass on a pantry shelf.
