A substantial and beautifully crafted vintage tobacco jar by Alfred Dunhill, London — bearing the original patent number 11832/13 and the iconic "The White Spot" association. A serious collector's piece from one of Britain's most prestigious luxury houses.
Dunhill tobacco jars were designed to maintain optimal humidity for pipe tobacco, and this example does so with characteristic gravitas. The combination of mahogany and tin construction gives it considerable weight and presence — this is not a decorative trinket but a functional object built to last generations.
