John Lennon Owned Caviar Container
One of the more unusual Beatles-owned pieces of memorabilia we’ve had the good fortune to be able to offer has to be this caviar container dating to John Lennon’s years at Kenwood, his home in Weybridge, Surrey. According to the LOA, John and Yoko “regularly had caviar delivered to Kenwood from ‘Fortnum & Mason’s. We were employed as haulage contractors by The Beatles between 1967-70 and the item was given to us by John Lennon during this period.” The glass, possibly porcelain, container is embossed with the logo and London address of Fortnum & Mason on the top, while the side of the container shows a sturgeon. The container’s maker, Crown Devon Fielding’s of London is embossed on the bottom. 2.75” diameter 2.25” high.
