Welcome to Antiques & Moore! This listing is for a lovely Austrian porcelain tobacco jar or humidor with silver plated lid. The silver plated collar has nicely aged patina and is firmly attached to the body. The lid is heavy silver plated metal with a large pipe attached to the top. The body of the tobacco jar is made of white porcelain and is decorated with an hand-painted medallion signed Haufmann featuring a seated gentleman wearing a red cape with three pretty maidens attending to him. The exterior body of the jar is painted with a mottled background in shades of green and golden brown. Measures 5 1/2″ high (to top of collar) and 7 3/4″ high (to the top of the pipe) with the body having an overall width of 5 1/2. Weighs 2.4 pounds. The body of the cracker jar is in excellent Estate condition with the only noted flaw being a small scratch on the face of one maiden and a tiny white pin-prick in the painted background about 2 left of the other scratch mentioned. The silver plate lid is in very good condition with the only noted flaw being some tarnish in the silver finish on each end of the attached pipe.
