Cast Iron "Fat Sailor" Tobacco Jar

Unique cast iron tobacco jar with original surface, crafted during the Crimean War era, 1853–1856.

Unlike the more numerous and common porcelain versions, this cast iron type is an early original version. This substantial artifact weighs 23 lbs and measures 13" tall, 8 1/2 "wide, and 5 " deep. Designed to hold and keep tobacco fresh, these jars embody robust artistry.

From my collection, an ideal piece for the collector seeking a unique rarity from a bygone era.

Dimensions: 13 x 8 1/2 x 5 inches
