Antique Alabaster Tobacco Jar

A substantial French alabaster tobacco jar with beautifully turned details and rich veining throughout. The stone has a soft, warm tone with intricate natural patterning, giving it a timeless, sculptural presence. The lid shows a few small edge chips—just enough to hint at a long life well lived, without distracting from the beauty of the piece.

7" tall; 4 7/8" wide

Originally used to store tobacco, it now makes a striking decorative object or a handsome place to tuck away small items. The stepped form and stacked ring details lend a classical architectural feel—elegant but grounded.

Likely a grand tour souvenir, this is a quiet standout in any vignette.
