Title
tobacco jar handle (profile)
Description
English: Handle from the lid of a cast lead tobacco jar, circular in plan and domed in profile. The handle is in the form of an eight-petalled flower with a central, conical knop projecting from the slightly curved collar of petals. There are faint traces of black material on the upper face of the handle which suggests that it was originally lacquered to protect the lead from corrosion and powdering, and to look like a finer metal. On the reverse there is an integral lug which would have attached to the lid that is now missing. It is 33 mm in diameter, 24 mm in height including the lug, and 9 mm in thickness. It weighs 42.08 g.

Bailey (2000) illustrates a similar tobacco box handle on page 62, in figs.1-2, which he dates to the middle of the 17th century and states that the lead boxes were used to keep tobacco moist. It is likely that this form of tobacco jar is popular into the late 18th century.
