John Middleton English Redware Neoclassical Style Humidor, c. 1900
About the Item
John Middleton English Redware Neoclassical Style Humidor, circa 1900.
Exemplifies the distinguished blend of classical design and functional craftsmanship characteristic of early 20th-century smoking accessories. Crafted from rich redware clay, the vessel showcases a harmonious balance between its robust form and intricate decorative elements, embodying the neoclassical aesthetic.
Encircling the upper rim is a boldly executed Greek key pattern, rendered in a striking black with delicate green accents. This geometric motif pays homage to ancient Greek design, symbolizing continuity and unity, and provides a refined contrast against the deep terracotta hue of the vessel. The neoclassical influence is further emphasized by the floral garlands that elegantly adorn the body, intricately detailed in black with a harmonious interplay of blooming flowers and lush foliage, all meticulously hand-applied.
Crowning the humidor is a brass rotating closure mechanism, engineered to provide an airtight seal, ensuring the preservation of tobacco's freshness and flavor. The lid’s mechanical precision reflects the period’s attention to both functional excellence and aesthetic refinement. The juxtaposition of the warm terracotta base with the gleaming brass top exemplifies the tasteful design choices typical of neoclassical decorative arts.
The base bears the mark of John Middleton, 219 Walnut St., Philadelphia, along with the inscription "Made in England," testifying to its transatlantic legacy. John Middleton was renowned for importing premium tobacco products and fine accessories, catering to an elite clientele in Philadelphia during the early 1900s.
