Antique Majolica Smoking Frog Humidor

Description

Offered is a charming antique majolica tobacco humidor in the form of a frog wearing a smoking jacket while smoking a pipe. We found this identified as Austrian, but the only marks are some impressed numbers so could not confirm that. This is a particularly pleasing example of this relatively rare form, with nice shading and coloring. It is in excellent overall condition but there is an old darkened glaze skip to the front of the collar and there is one old chip to the inner rim of the body (see photo). Measures 6 1/4” in overall height.
