Pomade Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Pomade Jar by Fenton is an opaque white jar with a domed lid and a pedestal base. The jar and lid have a textured surface featuring a raised diamond pattern. The lid is topped with a small, pointed finial. The jar's body tapers outward and then curves inward toward the base, with a short, thick stem connecting to a wide, flat base. The background is dark gray.
