Figgjo Lotte Jars

Another Figgjo "Lotte" form I haven't come across until I found this shape recently.

It is a lidded box - and I am guessing this shape was designed for jam or conserve - or perhaps a canister for a dry food, measuring approximately 10cm cubed. It has the same design on each of the four sides, and a floral wreath on the top of the lid. There were 2 of these in an auction lot and both are in pristine condition - so whatever the intended use, they appear not to have been used.

These days of course, it would be probably more appropriate to use as a eye catching display piece or a storage container on a cupboard or shelf.
