An antique Dundee Marmalade miniature pot from England. The pot is in good condition and is very collectible.

Keiller's marmalade, is named after its creator Janet Keiller, and is believed to have been the first commercial brand of marmalade, originating in Dundee, Scotland.

The apocryphal story tells that James Keiller bought a ship load of oranges from a ship that had sought harbour from a winter storm. The ship had started its journey in Seville but the delay caused by the storm had made the oranges less fresh than they ought to have been. The bargain gave Keiller's wife, Janet, the opportunity to manufacture a large quantity of marmalade.
The true story in reality is that the Keillers adapted an existing recipe for manufacture, by adding the characteristic rind suspended in the preserve.

The first commercial brand of marmalade, along with the world's first marmalade plant, was founded in 1797. In 1828, the company became James Keiller and Son, when James junior joined the business In 1859 the company set up a factory in Guernsey in order to avoid the sugar tax charged on the mainland and with a view to eventually expanding business in the south of England. In 1880 the company opened a factory at Tay Wharf, Silver-town in London. By the late 19th century the marmalade was shipping as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India and China.
