Rare CAC Lenox Sterling Silver Overlay Tobacco Jar Humidor. With’Blooming Nicotiana Tabacum’ (Cultivated Tobacco Plant) Motif. Antique Tobacco Jar Humidor by Ceramic Arts Company/Lenox Inc. Of Trenton, NJ, with a Rare Tobacco Plant Motif – a Beautiful Sterling Silver’Blooming Nicotiana Tabacum’ (Cultivated Tobacco Plant) Overlay by La Pierre Mfg Co. On the opposite side is a Sterling Silver Overlay Monogrammed Shield with the overlapping calligraphic initials’SWL’. The barrel-shaped porcelain tobacco jar/humidor is in great condition in an attractive tri-color glaze finish – dark brown, moss green, and orange sunset. The sterling overlay is intact, except for two tiny tobacco leaf tips at the bottom of the plant that aren’t very noticeable. Note that the sterling has lifted slightly where the leaf tips broke – likely caused by careless polishing of the sterling overlay. There’s also a visible’crease’ in the sterling tobacco leaves along the right side (see pics). The wonderful antique work-of-art measures 6-1/8″ high with a 5-1/2″ diameter at its widest bulge. Its overall weight is 2 lbs unpacked. With the exception of the crease & broken leaf tips, the Overall Condition, commensurate with its age of 120+ years & use over that timeframe, would be VG++. But with the overlay damage, the Lenox tobacco jar/humidor with the rare tobacco plant motif is still considered a very nice piece, rated as a Good+. Being offered here at a reasonable. All offers will be seriously considered!
