ANTIQUE TOBACCO JAR OF A SMILING LADY BUST ON TOP OF A BARREL. BOTTOM HAS BEEN REPAINTED TO MATCH THE LID COLORING. THE LID AND JAR ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. WHILE IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ON THE INTERIOR OF THE BASE THERE APPEARS TO BE ADDITIONAL PLASTER AS IF TO COVER OR REPAIR A CRACK BUT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A CRACK EXTENDING THROUGH TO THE OUTER SHELL. THE JAR MEASURES 7 1/2″ TALL AND APPROX 4 1/2″ WIDE. IT APPEARS THAT THE LID IS PAINTED IN ITS ORIGINAL COLORS BASED ON THE COLORS SHOWN ON THE INTERIOR OF THE LID ITSELF (SHOWN IN PHOTOS). THE BASE OF THE LID BARES THE MARK/SIGNATURE OF JOHANN MARESCH AS SHOWN. THIS IS AN ESTATE FIND AND I DO NOT KNOW THE ORIGIN OR BACKGROUND OF THIS PARTICULAR PIECE. PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS IN THEIR ENTIRETY TO VERIFY CONDITION TO YOUR OWN SATISFACTION.
