Tobacco Jar - Lot 98
Tobacco Jar
White earthenware, late 18th–early
19th century, circa 1800—Roanne—
Large urn-shaped tobacco jar from a tobacco merchant, with blue decoration on a white background. On the body, two intertwined branches of stylized foliage with small balls surround the inscription in large blue letters: “Tabac Saint Vincent,” indicating its origin: the Caribbean. A thin blue border encircles the base and neck of the jar, which is topped with a beautifully crafted gilded brass lid. The decorative style is similar to that of jar 134 but much more elaborate.
No mark, but likely Brussels.
Repaired.
H 36 cm
