Marked DEX above a Roman numeral II for Jan Teunis Dextra, the 'De Grieksche A' workshop, Delft, 1757-1765.
The cover decorated with a man smoking a pipe. The sides decorated with scenes showing enslaved black men harvesting tobacco and rolling it up, as well as an owner of the plantation or a wealthy merchant, smoking the tobacco. A highly interesting piece in both the field of tobacciana and Delftware collections.
