Unique Spanish or Portuguese Tobacco Jar Showing a Military Decoration & Gold Trim
Based on the spelling of tobacco on this jar, I am fairly sure this is Portuguese or Spanish. Depicts scenes of military cavalry in various stances/positions. Great detail. Gold trim appears to be hand applied 18K-24K, although not tested.
A high-quality tobacco jar that has been in my collection for a few years.
Measures 6 1/4" tall x 4" wide.
Unmarked.
Unsure of age, but figure it is from around 1950-1970s. MCM.
Tobacco collectibles are doing very well on the auction scene right now.
