Pewter Tobacco Jar with Punch and Toby Relief
No Image
- England , 1880
England, 1880. N.d., mid to late 19th Century. The relief shows three scenes -- one of Toby trying to douse the smoke coming from Punch's pipe as he is reclining and relaxing; and Toby wielding a drumsticks Toby seeks to pacify him; and finally, a small representation of the puppet theatre. There is also a small18 cm tall, from bottom to top of finial on lid. 10 cm in diameter. Quite hefty, with thick side walls, and the relief, substantial -- about one cm in thickness, which for a cup this size, adds the maximum of three dimensionality we could imagine, the figures essentially sculpted on three of their four sides. The weight also tells -- it is about 2 lbs, 10 ounces, or 1.2 KG.
