pottery help age please

Any ideas on age and what it is ?
TIA

 

Depends on size, Tricia, but looks like it could be an egg coddler sans lid.

Think it’s a tobacco jar looking at the design. It should have a lid.
Here’s a couple I found showing the similar design though I think yours is newer.

it's approx 4" tall, looks like in on bottom, pen holder?

 

That (tobacco jar) makes sense given motif. Size seems a bit small though.

Debora

 

Yes, it does, I don’t know if they maybe put snuff in them

 

It's modern and don't think anyone using snuff nowadays.

Debora

 

Without a lid, it's a good pen holder.

Snuff is still made today.

 

So are buggy whips.

seems delfts has a lot of different marks?

 

It may have been used as a pen holder but those ridges in the silver indicate a lid once fitted in there. It was most likely a souvenir item and may never have been meant to actually contain tobacco or snuff. Merely meant to suggest a time when those items were used.

It is either for tobacco or a cigar holder, part of an early to mid 20th century smoking set. The top looks like there would have been a screw-on lid, with a rather loose fit. When the lids get broken, people often have wooden replacements made.

That is because there were a lot of different manufacturers. I don't recognize this one.
