One carries the stamped mark of the manufacturer: 'Doulton & Watts' Lambeth Pottery'. The firm of Doulton and Watts was established in 1820 as Watts and Doulton, becoming Doulton and Watts by 1826 (Tyler et al. 2005, 12). This particular stamp was used until 1858, when John Watts died, after which the name Doulton appeared alone (Eyles and Irvine 2002, Appendix II), although the company name of Doulton and Watts was used in trade catalogues until at least 1873. Feldspathic glazes were introduced in the 1830s.
The two jars are of similar form, although differing slightly in size. This particular jar form is known as an 'export jam jar' in the Doulton & Watts catalogue for 1873, made in sizes from ½ lb to 6 lb (Tyler et al. 2005, fig. 54). The narrow mouth would either have held a bung of some kind, or have been fitted with a patent airtight closure.This item was found along with seven bowls (MAS-D100047). All of these items were recovered from the wreck of Josephine Willis, a New Zealand sail and steam propelled packet ship built in c.1840. The ship was carrying 110 people on board bound for Auckland, comprising ten First class passengers, 60 steerage and 40 crew. It sank in 1856 following a collision with Mangerton with the loss of 69 lives. NRHE and Kent HER reference numbers cited in this record refer to the wreck of Josephine Willis.

Due to the size of the fragment and the degree of marine growth on this item it has been tentatively identified as an olive jar, probably Spanish in origin, and dating anywhere between the medieval to post-medieval period (13th/14th to 18th century), most likely from the latter end of this date range (16th - 18th century).FOOD PREPARATON AND CONSUMPTION29361032/173MAS2017-04-06T00:00:00ZJARWith finder2017-04-07T15:57:16Z2017-09-26T13:12:28Z351528115PAS57C96ECD001E82PAS57BC21F300115B2MAS MASMASCeramic10539FragmentMEDIEVALx14221POST MEDIEVALx41047x14221DivingSubmitted as wreck to the Receiver of WreckIMG_44381.JPG112images/MASABB2017-11-06T18:20:28.468Zfinds-2020MAS-100020JARPOST MEDIEVALPottery sherd: a rim sherd from a Post Medieval glazed redware flanged bowl with a horizontal looped side handle.
