Tobacco jar - Lot 201
Tobacco jar
Unfired terracotta, second half of the 19th century
A whimsical composite depicting Napoleon III, looking a bit grumpy, wearing a dented top hat and a frock coat with epaulets, who appears to be emerging from a sack of gold coins.
Viewed in profile, the absence of arms makes him resemble a penguin.
No mark, but formerly from the collection of Eugène
Jance (label J 1858) and formerly from the Seita collection (lot 286 of the Riom auction on October 3, 2009).
Chips + crack.
H 25 cm
