A large and magnificent merchant’s tobacco jar, sealed with - Lot 99
A large and magnificent merchant’s tobacco jar, sealed with a pointed gilded brass lid, made of fine white Brussels earthenware with blue decoration. On the body, where two lion heads with blue manes serve as handles, is a design of a compact terrace from which stylized vegetation of leaves and twigs emerges. Two young men with mustaches, dressed in military uniforms and holding a tobacco stalk in their hands, stand there smoking long calumets from which thick smoke billows. The entire design surrounds the inscription “Tabac de St-Omer,” which is itself surmounted by a large, stylized blue flower with delicate leaves, known as the “flower of the Indies.” Circa 1800 Stamped with the inscription “Stevens Bruxelles.” H 41 cm
