Sold Out in 2025—and now they’re back. These FOUND Antique Mirland Porcelain Marmalade Jars are the kind of rare pieces that stop collectors in their tracks. Rich with European history, character, and undeniable charm, each jar is a true antique sourced from a farm in Frameries, Belgium—land once tied to the Knights Templar.
A Rare Piece of Belgian History
The story begins in 1858, when Victor Mirland transformed this historic property into a celebrated marmalade house. His signature preserves—especially the beloved pâte de pommes (apple paste)—became a local treasure. To hold them, Mirland turned to the artisans of the Manufacture de porcelaine de Baudour, led by Nicolas De Fuiseaux, who created these elegant white porcelain jars.
Their craftsmanship carried Mirland family recipes through five generations, until production ended in 1970. Today, that history lives on in every single jar.
Why These Are So Special
Each jar is beautifully unique, with its own maker’s marks and original factory stamps. Some date to before 1900, while others come from the early 20th century, giving every piece its own story, age, and collectible appeal.
More Than Just Display Pieces
These antiques aren’t only beautiful—they’re also wonderfully usable. Each jar is:
- Food safe, so you can use it for preserves, salt, sugar, or small kitchen essentials.
- Oven safe, making it as functional as it is historic.
- Authentically antique, sourced in Belgium and no longer produced.
- One of a kind, with natural variations in stamps, age, and character.
