EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing tobacco jar, a unique piece of World War I trench art, is crafted from the base section of a 1915 18-pounder brass shell. The shell, once a vital component of the British artillery arsenal during the Great War, has been repurposed into a functional and decorative tobacco container. The historical significance of this jar is further enhanced by the presence of a Coldstream Guards pattern rank garter star embedded in its base. The Coldstream Guards, one of the oldest and most decorated regiments in the British Army, were known for their distinctive uniforms featuring the garter star, a symbol of the monarchy and the regiment's connection to King Charles II. The use of brass shells as raw materials for trench art emerged during World War I when soldiers, often during lulls in the fighting, would create items to pass the time or as gifts for loved ones back home. Trench art, also known as soldier art, is a testament to the resourcefulness and creativity of the soldiers during this period. This tobacco jar, with its military history and intricate design, is a captivating reminder of the past and the ingenuity of those who lived through the First World War. The fusion of military history and everyday utility makes this piece a fascinating addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the past and the stories of the soldiers who created it.
