Victorian RS Prussia Cigar Humidor Hand Painted Porcelain with Lid, Incised Mark
Beautiful and Rare Antique RS Prussia Tobacco Humidor with Open Bottomed Lid to Hold Moistened Sponge. This delicate porcelain piece offers a handpainted floral design though it is somewhat understated and masculine, with gilded and green leafy plants. The back of the piece is different from the front. There are also subtle, tiny daisies in the pink at the bottom of the canister on the front display. The canister and lid both have fancy scrollwork, and the lid curves upward, bringing interest to the piece. There is an incised snowflake mark on the bottom of the humidor, confirming its authenticy. This piece has been dated by experts on RS Prussia to have been manufactured between 1880s – 1900s. There has not been (and I will not seek) a formal appraisal. 5 7/8″w x 6.5″h (from base to tip of handle). Condition is used, but the piece is in unbelievably wonderful shape. No chips on the canister or lid. No cracks on the canister. There are two tiny hairline cracks on the underside of the lid (see last picture). The painted flowers and leafy plants on both sides are not worn. The gilding is mostly worn on the lid and lid handle, as would be expected with age and use. PLEASE NOTE: The piece is very light. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Decorative Collectibles\Other Decorative Collectibles”. The seller is “reddiamondredo” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
