Important tobacco jars depicting an Asian couple kneeling in - Lot 212
Important tobacco jars depicting an Asian couple kneeling in a pose that may suggest prayer but could just as easily be a mischievous warning: “Beware.” Their attire—consisting of a flat hat tied under the chin and a sky-blue and pink kimono—is richly decorated with exotic flowers. At the back, extending well beyond the brim of the hat, a long braid of black hair twists mischievously. Note that there is a female counterpart to this figure. Painted and glazed Bohemian porcelain, late 19th century Engraved on the inside of the lid is the Conta family coat of arms, depicting an armed arm brandishing a knife, which indicates its origin: the “Conta and Böhme Fabrik.” Minor imperfections. Height: 26 cm
