A majolica humidor in the shape of a pig dressed. With a purple jacket. Probably Austrian in manufacture, dating from the last quarter of the 19th century. Very desirable form of a personified pig in a purple jacket. Primarily in colors of peach, and purple. The pig’s head acts as the humidor lid handle. As is usual there is an hole in the base for a sponge to keep tobacco from drying out. The original natural sponge is still present. If you choose to you can probably easily remove it by wetting the sponge. Approximately 6 1/2 in height. There is 3/8 chip on the pig’s ear. Check the photographs for details. There are a few glaze skips here and there which is common on these humidors. There are no cracks and the interior is clean.
