A large, whimsical tobacco jar depicting a fat man smiling a - Lot 190
A large, whimsical tobacco jar depicting a fat man smiling almost blissfully, his sideburns blowing in the wind, as he pushes his enormous belly along on a wheelbarrow. Against this black background, only his hands, his contented face, and the front of his shirt stand out in beige. Here we have, depicted in caricature, John Bull, the embodiment of capitalism. Glazed black terracotta, 19th century No mark, but comparable—in black—to the chocolate-brown example with blue eyes, listed as No. 347 in the Horowitz catalog and signed “W. Schiller and Son.” England? H 22.5 cm
