A large composite tobacco jar consisting of a midnight-blue - Lot 195
A large composite tobacco jar consisting of a midnight-blue drum, strung with golden cords, which serves as the tobacco jar. On its lid, a zany, caricatured clown with spiky red hair, wearing pink tights, green shorts, and red shoes, sits cross-legged, holding a cymbal in one hand and a drumstick in the other. The exaggeratedly joyful expression, which barely conceals genuine distress, perpetuates the myth of the sad clown. Late 19th-century earthenware No mark. Italy? Some wear. H 33 cm
