Great Turned Burl Wood Tobacco Jar by Artist R. Kaeser Mid Century Modern

About the Item

This beautifully hand-turned burl wood tobacco jar is a striking piece of Mid-Century Modern craftsmanship, signed by artist R. Kaeser. The jar features a domed lid with a rounded finial and a wide, textured burl band that showcases the natural beauty and complexity of the wood grain. Its rich, warm patina highlights the depth and movement in the burl, lending the piece a tactile, sculptural quality. The lid fits snugly atop the jar and opens to reveal a smooth, hollow interior, ideal for storing tobacco or other small items. The base and lid are stamped "R. Kaeser," attesting to its artisan provenance. The organic texture contrasts elegantly with the polished turned surfaces, making it a fine example of mid-century wood artistry, equally suited for functional use or as a decorative object. A collector's item for lovers of natural materials, studio craft, and mid-century design.
