Turk’s Head Tobacco Jar, 19th Century

England 2nd Half 19th Century

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.

Antique Brass and Iron Serpentine Fire Place Fender, Ca. 1780

A nice small example with a serpentine facade. The top is capped in brass with iron wire work below on an iron and sheet iron base. These were made from the mid 1700s into the 1820s corresponding with furniture designs of that period with serpentine shaped fronts.
