Welcome to my Fruit Jar Homepage!

As you may have guessed from the picture, I collect antique fruit jars. The three at left from my collection are a cobalt petal jar (ca 1855), a lime green wax sealer (ca 1870) and a deep teal mason (ca 1880). The one I use in the background is a Wm. Pogue jar (ca 1855). There are only six of these currently known. I've got lots more jar stuff below.

Some pictures from my collection along with some longwinded but hopefully enlightening comments on history, manufacture, etc.

Some pictures from my trip to Marrakech in Morrocco
