Tobacco Jar, 19th Century

England 2nd Half 19th Century

Tobacco jar in the form of a Turk’s head. This has been in my home for about 20 years. I’ve been hoping to see another one identified somewhere to no avail. It appears to be similar to some English Staffordshire products but all I will say is it is 19th Century made in Europe.

Update

I finally saw another one identified as Staffordshire from the mid-19th century.

These stately examples look just like late 18th century originals that were made for the wealthiest American families. This particular form is associated with Philadelphia makers.
