PORTMEIRION POMONA 7 INCH WHITE DUTCH CURRANT CANISTER
Very Hard To Find, Long Ago Retired Pomona Canister - About As Good As They Get!

I am happy to offer a rare Pomona White Dutch Currant 6.5 inch high (7 inches with the lid) canister. It is in great condition with NO crazing and a lid that is also in nice shape with a perfect seal.

The bottom carries an unusual black and very large Pomona Goddess Of Fruit ID mark which is rarely seen. Please see the photos and description below...

Portmeirion Pomona White Dutch Currant Canister

The White Dutch Currant motif was one of the first retired many years ago and is no longer available.

Condition Button
Size 6-1/4" high without the lid, a little under 7" with the lid, and about 4" across the top
Transfer Perfect with no flaws and has great color
Ground Very white
Glaze No crazing and very shiny glaze overall
Chips/Cracks None
Stains None, except for a small bit of shelf wear on the unglazed bottom foot ring where it sits on a surface. I was not able to pick up the shelf wear in the photo below, but there is just a little off color on the foot ring.
Use Marks None, but probably has been used. It must have been well taken care of.
Other Comments The lid is an original wooden lid with straight sides (newer lids are rounded on the edge) but is just a touch out of round. Almost all of the older Portmeirion straight wooden lids are like that. The wood and varnish condition is excellent with no dry and cracked varnish spots as is so common on older Portmeirion wooden lids. There is one spot of irregular wood along a top edge there from the time it was made. And there is also a small dent on the edge.

The gasket is excellent and holds a very tight seal.

A wonderful and rare White Dutch Currant canister that is hard to find in such nice condition!

The ID mark is a very large black Pomona Goddess Of Fruit backstamp. It is rarely seen.
