IMPORTANT STAFFORDSHIRE TRANSFER DECORATED TERRACOTTA HUMIDOR. WALKER’S PATENT “THE KAPNOPHILON”. MANUFACTURED CIRCA 1870 BY F. Polychrome enamel transfer decorated and gilded in the (Aesthetic Movement) manner of William Morris. A variation of the jar carrying additional instructions. Stamped on stopper “MOISTEN / THE SPONGE / WITH RUM / SOMEWHAT / DILUTED” can be viewed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art website by searching Kapnophilon. I’ve not located an example of Walker’s Patent terracotta tobacco jar by F. One could conclude few were manufactured and/or survive. Other than inconsequential mouth rim and lip chips depicted in the final three close-up photographs, the jar is in outstanding original condition. 5 1/2″ (14cm) high to cover knop, 4 1/8″ (10.5cm) diameter at mouth rim.
