3 headed Tobacco Jar

Tobacco jars have been used since the 1700s to store pipe tobacco. They've been made with a variety of materials, including tin, wood, and pewter, but most are pottery jars, made of porcelain, majolica, or bisque. In the mid-19th century, figural tobacco jars like this one were prevalent. This one appears to be bisque. There are some minor blemishes but overall it's in great shape.
