1900’s Majolica Tobacco Humidor, Handsome Gent Figural Tobacciana

April 9, 2025 – 4:35 am

1900’s Majolica Tobacco Humidor, Handsome Gent Figural Tobacciana. 1900’s Antique Austrian Majolica Tobacco Humidor, Handsome Gentleman Of Color. No Major Cracks, Repairs. No chips around the rim. Made in Austria and parts of what is now modern Germany and are often called Berlin Majolica. Most of the originals were made from about 1880 up until the first World War, ca. 1914, when production ceased. The difference between the majolica originals and the Reproductions are the type of clay and the glaze. This distinctive color is obvious in the unglazed bases and the unglazed rims of the lid and top rim. By contrast, the original majolica glazed pieces are made of a nearly pure white clay. The white clay of originals is apparent in the unglazed bases and rims as well as through the nicks and chips almost always found on vintage humidors. 6.5″ Height including lid 5.75″ Length at Base 4 Width at Base.

Antique 1900’s English Ceramic BullDog Tobacco Container/Humidor-Very Good

February 13, 2025 – 3:07 am

Absolutely incredible and rare 1900’s English BullDog Tobacco Container/Humidor with removable head as lid. Has “Tobacco” embossed across the front. Very nice condition with original paint still clear and evident. These antique pieces have variations from one to the other- with that said, the ears on this dog do not match, but they do not feel sharp like they were damaged and look complete. No other obvious signs of chips, cracks, crazing, etc. There is a piece of clear tape on body of item that looks as old as the piece itself. No evident damage is visible through the tape, but I elected to not try to remove it, nor did I make any attempt to clean this rare, antique item. Please see pics for further description and condition.
