Item Description
An 18th-century Georgian brass tobacco jar features a classic neoclassical design. The piece is composed of a smooth, cylindrical main body that rests upon a heavy square plinth base, elevated by four short bracket feet. Its tightly fitted, stepped lid rises dramatically into a tall, turned steeple-shaped finial that serves as a handle. Cast from solid brass, the surface displays an authentic aged patina with visible oxidation, minor pitting, and variations in coloration consistent with its age and long-term use. This type of container was primarily used in wealthy European households to store loose tobacco, keeping it dry and protected.
Dimensions: 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 9 1/4" H
Condition: lid is tight, a few minor indents along the inside rim, heavily oxidized interior.
