A bear baiting advertising jar and cover early 19th century, modelled as a large brown bear clutching a snarling dog between its forepaws, chained to a grassy base, a titled banner to one side inscribed ~Bears Grease~ within a lustre edge, the head lifting as a cover, some good restoration, 28.6cm. (2)Bear~s grease was a popular treatment for male hair loss from the mid 17th century. It was the specialism of perfume house, Atkinsons of London, founded in 1799, and it is possible that this jar relates to their advertising as their logo included a very similar banner.
