[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 202819, member: 85"]I think lauragarnet was correct in calling this a humidor or tobacco jar. I think German in origin. Some how I just don't see women in the late 1800s early 1900s having garlic keepers. I'm more inclined to think they kept it in a crock or had a pantry with drawers or down in a dry cellar. I just don't see them having fancy jars in the kitchen. They were either hard working women keeping a family or they had servants.[/QUOTE]
