Faceted pot, stamped ECHO round the front. Otherwise unmarked. Suggestions?

Might be missing a lid, but there's no sign of wear around the inside of the neck to indicate there ever was one. A lot of wear around the shoulders, though.

Bit of a long shot - but do you think it might have been a special promotional tub for Echo Margarine, which was produced by Vandenberghs and Jurgens (later Unilever) from early in the 20th century? Might perhaps have had a paper or foil lid tied around the neck with twine.

I don't know how you could check out this rather iffy theory, but maybe a kitchenalia collector might be able to help, or maybe the Unilever archives.

Thank you r-and-f, that's a great suggestion. I was wondering it it was something to do with Echo Park, but that would make it a long way from home. I'd completely forgotten about Echo margarine. Makes much more sense. I'll check it out. Happy

Look forward to finding out.

Apparently it was called Echo because it was supposed to be an echo of butter (distant but cheap). My mother used Stork.

My mum used Stork too. Happy

It might just be a student piece, but I'll keep looking.
