A striking late 19th-century English copper tobacco jar, featuring an ornate relief-decorated body with scrolling Baroque-inspired decoration.
 
The richly worked copper gives the piece a wonderfully aged, tactile quality. At the same time, the lidded form is both decorative and historically interesting, reflecting the elaborate tobacco jars produced for domestic interiors during the Victorian period.
 
A substantial and characterful piece with plenty of decorative appeal, whether displayed as part of a collection of antique copperware or styled as an individual statement object.
