Eglantine American Tobacco Company 20 Cent Plugs Box vintage claws I spotted this watercolor high

I spotted this watercolor high on the wall at an antique shop in Manchester

with a cigarette rest on either side--but now would also make a great little tray for business cards

including simplicity

This piece was created at  Lapid Pottery Works in Tel Aviv

Eglantine American Tobacco Company 20 Cent Plugs Box vintage claws I spotted this watercolor highI really like the graphic quality of the big red EGLANTINE across one side of this old wooden box, with nice jointed corners to boot. It once held 18 tobacco plugs brick like masses of tobacco, from which pieces were bitten off or cut, then chewed but now is just a great box for holding tools, spices, art supplies, or whatever. Structurally solid, with a little damage to the surface of the wood on one corner, as pictured. 11 1 2" long x 5" deep x 2 5
