This very handsome turn-of-the-century (late 19th to early 20th century) antique Austrian figurative, decorated porcelain tobacco humidor, featuring depictions of bucks and a deer horn decorated ceramic lid, has wonderful, nearly unblemished surfaces and great, complex glazes and a mature, narrow band of color, ranging from deep burnt sienna to burnt umber and warm, buttery cream. The piece is all about sporting and in this case deer hunting, with not one but two stags adorning the front center medallions of both the back and front of the sidewalls of the ceramic jar. On the sides can be seen pointed horns, framing the oval graphic iconography of the deer busts. The lid is also nearly unblemished, with the top featuring bas-relief, sculptural deer antlers placed on top and which act as a lid pull for a hunter’s fingers looking for tobacco for his pipe.
