A characterful vintage ceramic storage jar formed as a stylised face, complete with a fitted lid boldly inscribed “CHUTNEY.”

The piece features a playful and slightly whimsical design, with rounded ears, expressive eyes, and hand-painted detailing in warm brown tones over a cream ground.

The lid integrates seamlessly into the head, with the knop forming the top of the character, while the interior provides a practical storage space for condiments or small kitchen items.

This type of novelty kitchenware was popular in the mid-20th century, combining function with humour and decorative appeal.

Its distinctive design makes it an eye-catching addition to a kitchen, dresser, or collection of retro ceramics.
