ANTIQUE TAYLOR TUNNICLIFFE POTTERY TOBACCO JAR WITH HALLMARKED STERLING SILVER RIM & STERLING SILVER FINIAL FOR BIRMINGHAM 1909
TO CAPTAIN ADJUTANT F. DELAVOYE.
Very rare Military Commemorative/Presentation Tobacco Jar in good condition with no serious damage - however the underside part of the lid has been cracked (see last photo).
The Tobacco Jar was made by Taylor Tunnicliffe of Staffordshire & is decorated with two jovial Monks - the top collar rim & finial on the lid are both solid silver & hallmarked for (I believe) Henry Charles Freeman of Birmingham 1909. Both the silver collar & the finial are showing signs of age/use - the collar is extensively dented (see 2nd/3rd/8th/9th/10th & 11th photos) & the finial also has a 2-3 small dents (see 8th/10th photos).
*Captain Adjutant Delavoye & his close/extended families Military Service record/details etc are easily accessible on the internet & make very interesting reading.
It's approx 6.5"/16.5cms tall & is approx 4.5"/11.5cms diameter across the shoulders at its widest point.
It weighs approx 788grams or 1lb 12ozs.
This item is only one of several very interesting Collectables, rare & unusual pieces of Art Glass, Paperweights & Curios that I currently have listed.
Thank you for taking the time to have a look & if any questions - please just Ask.
