Description
Tobacco jar
Glazed porcelain, 19th century – France –
A pair of composite pieces, each comprising a midnight-blue glazed barrel from which emerges, in one, the head of a bourgeois woman wearing a Norman headdress and, in the other, that of her satisfied husband with white sideburns and a pink bow tie.
Marked on the base with a curious zigzag symbol resembling a stylised 3 or S, perhaps the modeller’s signature.
Repairs, chips and a crack on the male figure’s skull.
H 20.5 cm
