Vintage Paddington bear marmalade honey jar, Eden, 1978.

Description

The jar features the always adorable Paddington bear sitting with his hands on a marmalade jar. He is all ceramic with muted colors and shading. He is in good condition with no chips, cracks or crazing. He has crevice dirt and dust from age so he could use a good cleaning. His head lifts up; on backside is space for a spoon to be put inside; I do not know if a spoon came with it; as found. He has a few pinholes, pottery lumps and spots on the back of brim of his hat. On right of brim is an unglazed spot; I dont think it's a chip but a mis glaze; see pics. There are some yellow spots under head on white ridge; made that way from being hand painted. Some blue spots on front right foot; made that way. Shelf wear on bottom's ridge. A square paper label on bottom; Eden Toys, Inc. 1978 Made in Japan. Measures 5.75" X 3.75" X 4". Opening is 2.5" X 2".
