Tobacco jar, round, decorated with imposed garlands and medallions, with loose lid, The round tobacco jar has a loose lid and rests on three cast legs in the shape of a bird's claw on a ball. The legs are attached to an open-worked edge of ovals connected along the underside of the body connected by rosettes, closed at the top and bottom by a beaded edge. The body is constricted slightly from below and vaulted above it. It has a low straight mouth edge decorated with a pearl frame. It is driven around with a laurel pendulum, which is attached to a ring on both sides where a straight pendulum hangs, and a medallion hung from a bow is mounted on the front and back. The cast medallions display allegorical female figures, one with a cross, the other with an anchor, representing Faith and Hope respectively. The lid has a flat outer edge, adorned in gloss stitch with a band with two flung ribbons with rosettes, between rippled edges adorned. Inside, a high curved, fluted section arises, crowned by a broad straight edge with a pearl frame. The lid button is attached to the arched top, which is shaped like a pine cone on a double leaf wreath.
