Curatorial Remarks

Note

Object was given a separate unique accession number, as it was originally accessioned as shared between two sauceboats. Object was found in Kate Johnson's office prior to the HHV main office move in 2011. It was likely removed from Sunnyside because of its poor condition (fragile old repairs and more recent damage to the looped handle). Kate Johnson recommended keeping the object despite its poor condition since it was part of a set owned by Irving [Jessa J. Krick, 1/20/2011].
