Old french tabacco pot

Antique French tobacco jar (*pot à tabac*) shaped like a cat's head, made of barbotine (majolica) earthenware. These distinctive jars were primarily produced around the turn of the 20th century (circa 1900) by renowned French potteries such as K&G Lunéville or Saint-Clément. Material: Made of barbotine, a type of French majolica earthenware known for its thick, colorful glazes and three-dimensional—often humorous—animal designs. There is a small chip on the ear. Looks lovely in a country-style kitchen.
