Great piece of Nippon with lots of moriage.
<p>Beautiful humidor; sponge was held inside the lid
to keep the tobacco hydrated. Could also be used as a biscuit
barrel. Or in honor of the squirrel on top, it could hold nuts.
<p>Hand painted with gorgeous, pink, Art Nouveau style on
matte green and patterned ground. Lots of moriage in the
design as well as the applied borders.
<p>Measures 4-1/2 inches diameter. 8 inch overall height
<p>Very Good overall condition. Some of the applied moriage is
missing from the bottom rim of the lid (as shown). A tiny
bit is also missing from the bottom of the jar.
<p>Circa 1800s to early 1900s
<p>No markings. Although we found the same piece with a blue
maple leaf (mark # 52).
