Sylvac 5395 Treacle Glaze Ginger Jar
This lidded ginger jar is by Sylvac, the English pottery maker, and is model number 5395. It is finished in a rich treacle glaze, a deep brown and amber tone that is typical of the Sylvac mid-century range. The body is moulded with arched panels, one showing a bird among blossoms and the other a pine tree, both raised in relief against a stippled ground. The domed lid carries a matching floral design and rises to a short, pointed finial. The base is marked “SYLVAC 5395” and “England”, with a paper Sylvac label, confirming its origin and model.
Condition and Collector Interest
The glaze appears glossy and largely intact across the body, lid and panels, and the raised decoration is crisp. The unglazed rim of the base shows light speckling, which is characteristic of the earthenware body and not an obvious defect. The paper label to the base is present. This example offers a good opportunity for collectors of vintage Sylvac and treacle glaze pottery, particularly those seeking embossed lidded jars with oriental-style motifs. Buyers wishing to display or use it as a storage piece will appreciate its distinctive form and original marking.
