Notes
This lidded jar, or jubbana , was originally created to store and serve butter. It was made in Fez, an important centre for Moroccan pottery, where professional male potters made decorative tableware for urban consumers. The jar was donated to the V&A by George Maw, founder of Maw & Co., a British manufacturer of ceramic tiles. The company won many medals and awards at the international exhibitions which were a feature of the late 19th century. This jar was displayed at the 1871 Annual International Exhibition held in London.
