A rare Fortnum & Mason Finest Blue Stilton Cheese Porcelain 3.25 inch H Storage Canister or Jar with Lid. The creamy white ceramic Storage Canister or Jar with Lid features a charming coloured illustration of a couple in historical dress - a milkmaid carrying two milk churns on a yoke and Gentleman dandy with top hat and tails holding a plate of stilton.

Please note - Stilton not included.

On the other side, it has a black line design with the F&M logo and says “Fortnum & Mason, Established 1707, Finest English Blue Stilton Cheese, 200g, ”. The stilton ceramic container will make a great kitchen storage jar or can be used as a vase or in the craftroom and so on. The design is retired so hard to find in this great condition.

The Blue Stilton storage Crock is approx. 8 cm (3 1/4 in) high with the lid and has a base diameter of 7.5 cm (3 in). Weighs 340 g (12 oz).

Base says “Fortnum & Mason, Established 1707, Piccadilly, London, England”.

The item you receive may not be the exact one in photo and will be the same design, size and condition.

The Milkmaid Fortnum & Mason Stilton storage jar with lid is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, crazing or obvious scratches. The item presents as if it has not had much use and is a pre loved item. Please view photos.

A great gift for a Fortnum & Mason fan and collector of potted Stilton storage canisters. Also makes a nice addition to a country kitchen or Retro Kitchen. A great British stilton themed souvenir.

Fortnum & Mason is a large food department store based in Piccadilly London since 1707. Millions visit its flagship shop to take Afternoon Tea and explore the Food Halls. Fortnum & Mason picnic hampers are world famous. The history can be traced back to the early 1700s when Queen Anne insisted on fresh candles every night. This resulted in spare palace wax and enterprising footman William Fortnum saw the potential. Together with his landlord, Hugh Mason, the two began melting and selling on the Royal wax.
