I have here for sale a well carved or turned vintage spice or tobacco container in the shape of an apple. Turned out of some form of heavy dense hardwood and has the feel of a quality item of treen and of having some age due to the surface patina which has developed over many years of handling. With the lid removed there is a strong smell of some form of spice which i am unable to identify and would have been stored inside at some point.

There is an original sticker on the base which places this carving to Tangier and i have no reason to disbelieve it as this piece was part of a collection of wood carvings from various parts of the world all with identification marks of origin.

Measures 3 inches high and fits nicely in your hand.

Please see my other items for a carved vintage South African bearded gentleman which may be of interest to you.

thanks for looking and any questions please email.
