Antique L&c Austrian Seated Germanic Man Figural Tobacco Jar Humidor
This is for a large (11 inches tall, full bodied) antique Terra Cotta Pottery monotone tobacco jar humidor most likely from Austria/Germany. The jar features a seated (on a stump) Victorian Germanic man figure. There is a lot going on with this figure – he has a strange little monogramed (R) cap on his forehead – mustache and satisfied smile on his face – well dressed crossed legs with knee high boots – a sword (naval cutlas) in his left hand – a large covered stein labeled “MUNCHENER KINDL” on the ground on his right side – and two books titled “JOBSIADE” AND “HORAZ” on the ground on his left side – the humidor is marked with “L&C” on its bottom. The Munchener Kindl is a child of Munich – a prominant figure at Octoberfest in Munich (likely before 1890). Jobsiade and Horaz are poetry books. Who is this guy? What maker used the L&C mark?
