Early 20th Century European Ceramic Tobacco Jar with Pipe and Nautical Motifs

About the Item

A rare and highly decorative early 20th century ceramic tobacco jar, likely of European origin. This finely crafted piece features intricate black transfer designs of assorted pipes, including character pipes and figural designs, along with a maritime theme subtly integrated into the motifs. The word “TOBAC” is prominently displayed on a scroll, suggesting its intended use for pipe tobacco. The jar is fitted with a snugly closing lid featuring a leather gasket or bourrelet seal for airtight storage—a detail that attests to its quality and function. The lid is also adorned with further pipe illustrations, adding visual continuity and charm.
