Kingfisher Carved Tobacco Jar

Jacksons Antique are pleased to offer this charming and unusual carved tobacco jar modelled as a kingfisher.

The jar is beautifully shaped with a stylised form, capturing the bird’s signature long beak, plump body and upright posture. Rich green and blue tones wash across the surface, enhanced by inset glass eyes that bring the piece to life. The head lifts on a concealed hinge at the neck to reveal the hollow interior, originally used for storing loose tobacco.

Dating to circa 1930, the jar was produced during the Art Deco period and reflects a playful and sculptural approach to functional design. We have not come across this exact model before, and it makes a wonderful collector’s piece with great display presence. Today, these jars are often repurposed for holding small items on desks or shelves including sweets, office items or even keys.
