<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ascot, post: 79040, member: 96&quot;]Would appreciate any information and opinions on this unmarked tobacco jar. As you can see in the photos, it has considerable exterior crazing. At first I thought the crazing was added to make the piece appear old, but I can clearly feel the crackling with my fingernail, and the pottery is fairly lightweight, so I think it is an older piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lid has been lacquered, and I&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s really brass, although a magnet doesn&#039;t stick. The hex nut holding the finial makes me think newer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your help!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_1925.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_1926.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_1927.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_1929.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_1930.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
