This charming vintage ceramic tobacco jar, likely dating from the 1930s or 1940s, advertises Ogden's Walnut Plug tobacco. The cylindrical jar features a cream-coloured glazed body with a contrasting rich brown glaze on the top rim and flared base. One side prominently displays the brand name 'Ogden's WALNUT PLUG Sweet as a Nut' in stylised brown and orange lettering, accompanied by an endearing illustration of a red-brown squirrel. The reverse side details the product, depicting a miniature 'Ogden's Walnut Plug Sliced' product box set against a realistic wood grain background, complete with a price of '9 1/2d oz.', indicative of its pre-decimalisation era. The base carries the inscription 'NONE GENUINE WITHOUT THE LABEL', suggesting it originally came with a specific label or lid. This piece is in good vintage condition, exhibiting overall crazing and minor surface wear consistent with its age, including a small crack near the bottom edge. It is an ideal piece for collectors of tobacciana, vintage advertising, or as a distinctive decorative item in a home office, living room, or man cave.
