An extraordinary and rare tobacco jar—perhaps the rarest in - Lot 217
An extraordinary and rare tobacco jar—perhaps the rarest in this collection—oval in shape, depicting a Venetian gondola. It is chocolate brown in color, richly decorated with red, black, and green scrolls, and its stern is adorned with a triton’s head. The gondolier sits at the rear, on a match compartment equipped with a scraper. In the center is the passenger cabin, closed by curtains, whose laced roof serves as a lid; this forms the tobacco jar itself. At the front is the place for the mast (missing). All the parts making up this pot are removable. Glazed Bohemian terracotta, late 19th century Marked with the number 138 and the initials WS&S for William Schiller & Son. Chips and missing pieces. Dimensions: 19 x 37 cm
