1900's Majolica Tobacco Humidor, Handsome Gent Figural Tobacciana
1900’s Antique Austrian Majolica Tobacco Humidor, Handsome Gentleman Of Color. Excellent condition. No Major Cracks, Repairs. No chips around the rim. Made in Austria and parts of what is now modern Germany and are often called "Berlin Majolica." Most of the originals were made from about 1880 up until the first World War, ca. 1914, when production ceased.
The difference between the majolica originals and the Reproductions are the type of clay and the glaze. This distinctive color is obvious in the unglazed bases and the unglazed rims of the lid and top rim. By contrast, the original majolica glazed pieces are made of a nearly pure white clay. The white clay of originals is apparent in the unglazed bases and rims as well as through the nicks and chips almost always found on vintage humidors.
