Description
Set of several tobacco pots 19th-century stoneware, c. 1860 Closed with a pewter lid with a broken hinge, this cylindrical pale brown stoneware pot is decorated with mouldings alternating between two pairs of ancient lovers, a fisherman and a falconer, in the style of 18th-century Flemish and German stoneware. This pot must have belonged to a doctor, as a paper label bears the title ‘Doctor’ followed by an illegible name. One can imagine it taking pride of place, alongside others, in a relaxation room reserved for doctors at a 19th-century hospital. Marked with a symbol that could be a J and a Z, for Jules Ziegler. Numerous chips. H 16cm Tobacco jar 19th-century Beauvais stoneware, c. 1880 Tobacco jar with a chiselled pewter lid. On the body, four moulded heads of Bacchus, the god of the vine, between two circular friezes – upper and lower – of finely drawn pearls. Marked P. H 18cm Tobacco jar Glazed red earthenware, 19th century Large brown glazed tobacco jar decorated with ochre mouldings alternating between Ceres, goddess of the harvest, and a large basket of flowers and fruit. On the lid, moulded with pearls of fruit and flowers, the knob is an ochre-coloured cocker spaniel, lying down with its tail raised. Resembles, though more refined, the following piece. No mark, but in the style of Jules Ziegler. Chips. H 18cm Tobacco jar Beauvais stoneware, late 19th century On a body finely ribbed with circular grooves, mouldings of vine leaves alternate with that of a bird fiercely defending its nest against a cat. On the lid, adorned with scattered leaves, a large flower serves as the finial. Marked ‘1’ and ‘Sarreguemines’ in a stamp. Lid broken. H 17cm Tobacco jar Glazed stoneware, late 19th century – Beauvais region – Small brown glazed tobacco jar, the body of which is decorated with an antique-style profile alternating with a stylised flower. No mark. Lid broken and re-glued. H 11.5cm Stoneware and pewter, second half of the 19th century Tobacco jar, made of Beauvais stoneware, with a pewter lid opening on a hinge. The decoration, featuring two figures within a garland—one a fisherman, the other a falconer—echoes, in a simplified and more recent form, two of the motifs from pot 76, but without the ancient couple. H 17 cm
