The potters at Delft were among the earliest to produce large tobacco jars with a large capacity that were intended for shops and tobacco producers rather than for personal use. Many such jars are inscribed with numbers or the names of different tobacco and some also bear the V.O.C, monogram of the Dutch East India Company.
Both De Porceleyne Bijl and De Drie Klokken were factories that produced many tobacco jars. Interestingly, De Drie Klokken (the three bells) was founded in 1670 by a woman, Barbara Rotteveel, one of the few women to establish and operate a pottery business in her own right, although the factory was originally purchased in the name of her brother in law, Joris Mesch.
