A characterful buff-glazed stoneware jar moulded in crisp relief with a gentleman taking snuff beneath a ribbon cartouche. The foot carries an impressed “3” size mark and the base is unmarked, typical of late-Victorian to early-Edwardian English utility ware. It displays beautifully on a dresser and works well as a vase liner or utensil pot.

Approximate height is 23 cm (about 9.5 inches). Stoneware with an ochre/buff alkaline glaze.

Condition is decorative but timeworn: chips and roughness to the rim as shown, a short old hairline through the upper ribbon, and small glaze nicks and surface wear consistent with age. Stands sound and stable.
