Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Popular throughout the late nineteenth century, figural porcelain tobacco jars were decorative humidor vessels shaped as characters, historical figures, or animals, designed to keep pipe tobacco moist on desks and tables.

These containers were primarily made from hard-paste porcelain or glazed earthenware, decorated using overglaze enamels, cold painted detailing, and occasional gilded accents.

Authentic jars usually feature impressed four-digit mould numbers on the base, unglazed interior rims that absorb moisture, and natural seams where the head or upper body lifts off as a lid.

A figural tobacco jar serves as a striking accent piece when displayed on a dark wood bookshelf, atop a mantelpiece, or alongside leather-bound books on an executive desk.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or submersion in water, which can damage delicate overglaze enamels and cold-painted finishes.
