For your consideration we offer an Antique Majolica Toby Figural tobacco jar featuring the head of a man with a big Top Hat & pipe. This is a very Rare Character Pipe Holder Humidor we have not seen before. The colors are Deep Blue collar, with many shades of brown, gray & Cream , with a semi gloss glazing. This two-piece semi - porcelain humidor is 7" tall x 7 1/2" at its widest point x 4" deep. Lid is the Top Hat . This piece is in remarkably sol...id condition. Paint is in excellent shape for its age. There are a couple of Chips in the top edge of the Hat but they are under the glaze & appear to be part of the decoration of the hats surface. No cracks nor repairs. Really a beautiful Victorian Tobacco Jar.

It wasn't until 1891 with the McKinnley Tarrif Act that pieces had to be marked with the country of origin to be exported. The Weight of the Humidor is 1 pound. Made in Germany or Austria. From a private collection, that was off the market for many years. Please check out our pictures for a better visual description. Email for any questions or more pictures.
