Fantastic figural tobacco humidor jar! Purportedly produced by the German firm of Conta Bohme. I found reference to this online after quite a bit of digging. Apparently a catalogue from 1912 called’Cop May’ shows a photo of it with this attribution. See the final photo for this information. It will be included in the sale. The lid of the jar is broken in three pieces. It was a very clean break. The pieces fit together perfectly with no missing pieces. They could be glued back together almost seamlessly by anyone. A true conservationist could make the repair invisible. It looks great on display without its lid as well though. The jar portion is in near perfect condition. No chips or cracks, just very minor paint wear. This is an ultra rare example. You’re unlikely to ever see another of this model. The final photo shows the only other example I could find.
