EXTREMELY RARE 1849 BENNINGTON TOBY SNUFF JAR & LID ROCKINGHAM YELLOW

Here we have an extremely rare Bennington Toby snuff jar with its original lid. Dating from 1849 to 1858, this Toby snuff jar is very rarely found, especially with its original lid. This is decorated with the Rockingham glaze accenting the finely molded details in this seated Toby. Toby is always shown as a jovial gentleman holding a tankard of ale in one hand and his pipe in the other. His round hat is turned up on one side with a tied ribbon around the crown. This Toby jar is illustrated in Richard Carter Barrett’s, “Bennington Pottery and Porcelain” on page 320. Toby measures 4 ½” to the top of his hat by 4” across the base. This Toby survives in its original mint condition with no damage or repairs. This Toby snuff jar is extremely rare with its lid, is highly sought after by advanced collectors and would be prized in any condition.
