[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4620632, member: 2844"]They are Dutch tobacco jars, missing their brass lids. These were used in tobacco shops, where people (men) would go for a smoke, selecting their favourite tobacco or the best mix. The shop would have a beautiful counter, and tables and chairs, much like a cafe. I always like these jars, and use my ca 1900 ones in the kitchen to store herbal teas. Not mine, but an example of an 18th century jar for so-called Spanish tobacco blend, "Spaanse": [IMG]https://www.startpage.com/av/proxy-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.artimin.com%2Fi-f%2F2000%2F2000%2F1%3A1%2F2855.jpg&sp=1668062828T43d8961da5e94d8f30ebe5c14dad6d7ab10179955a0e251b68a37ff496466a52[/IMG] [URL]https://www.vannieantiquairs.com/nl/Antiek-Keramiek-Glas/Meer-Keramiek-Glas/Blauw-Delftse-Tabakspot[/URL][/QUOTE]
