The Story Behind the Print
John L. Mason’s U.S. Patent 22186, granted November 30, 1858, documents a glass preserving jar with a threaded neck and screw closure intended to create a practical reusable seal.
The simple jar elevation, neck profile, and closure sections form a spare mid-nineteenth-century plate with quiet domestic character. This restored edition preserves the original patent arrangement in crisp black linework on cool, timeworn rag paper within the collection’s restrained black double rule.
Printed to order on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper with fade-resistant archival pigment inks. A natural piece for kitchens, pantries, farmhouses, restaurants, and collections of culinary history.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece—the print will always be richer.

Overall, it is a beautiful accent piece for our entryway table! Frame/image came packed well with not a scratch on it! Would recommend this seller 100%.”
