Just a quick update, I just purchased an identical tobacco jar, also made by Denby in England. The new one, which I am waiting to be delivered to me, is finished with a dark brown and cream glaze. I shall post a photo of the two jars together once the post arrives. Naturally, I'm already debating which blend I should fill the new jar with? The candidates so far are, Balkan Sasieni, Ashton's Artisan's Blend and G. L Pease's Sixpence... Once again, I'll be sure to update you on what I decide. (Note: the blue jar in the photos above is being filled with Peterson's My Mixture 965).
