Tobacco Jars

[shaintiques]

Hey everybody. I was wondering if any of you have cool tobacco jars. This is mine. He is a bartender cleaning a glass. He is made of what looks like glazed clay. He came with the pipe stand and is at least 50 years old. He reminds me of Mr. Butterbur the bartender from The Lord Of The Rings.

very unique for sure

I'm not sure whether they originally came together or not, the guy I bought it from said that it had been in his family as long as he could remember, about 50 years and they were always together. Thats all he could tell me. But it has no cracks or chips, its perfect.
