Set of several tobacco jars - Lot 74

Set of several tobacco jars Stoneware, 19th century, circa 1860 Closed with a pewter lid featuring a broken hinge, this cylindrical pale brown stoneware jar is decorated with moldings alternating between two pairs of ancient lovers, a fisherman, and a falconer, in the style of 18th-century Flemish and German stoneware. This jar likely belonged to a doctor, as a paper label bears the title “Doctor” followed by an illegible name. One can imagine it taking pride of place, along with others, in a lounge reserved for doctors at a 19th-century hospital. Marked with a symbol that could be a J or a Z, possibly for Jules Ziegler. Numerous chips. H 16 cm Tobacco jar 19th-century Beauvais stoneware, circa 1880 Tobacco jar with a chiseled pewter lid.
