Heart-shaped Snuff: 3” long, 2 ½” across, 1 ½” deep. This is
a stout heart, indeed! Unsigned, probably AP, ca. 1875, it is in beautiful
condition, with just the merest fleck of glaze at the mouth, on the rooster
side. There are also several tiny glaze pops in the dark blue surround, but
they are original to the firing, and we never change those. This is one of the
best of all the snuff variations: rooster on one side, beautiful daisy on the
other, and a
plump shape to hold in the palm of one’s hand and admire….an
irresistible Valentine, for sure. $300, plus $15 for shipping.
