Rare Post-War ceramic case from Germany, likely by Bayreuth. It features a playful devil-like baby figure hanging over oversized playing cards, adorned with club and spade symbols. Fine gold trim outlines the cards, adding an elegant touch to the mischievous design. A unique collectible from early Las Vegas, perfect as a tobacco or card case. In good vintage condition with no major chips, cracks, or breaks. Marked “Germany” on the bottom. There is a minor flaw on the devil’s left ear, and some natural paint fading consistent with age.
