Fabulous & rare antique Victorian to early Edwardian era Black Forest hand carved 10 3/8" tall owl figure with wonderful detail and large two-toned yellow & black glass eyes: a tobacco jar or smoker's caddy with match holder hollow log base and hinged upper compartment for cigars or pipe tobacco! Of course, most of us these days are solely interested in the magnificent decorative nature of these old tobacciana pieces. Black Forest always a favorite with us and owls are quite rare, especially this large and finely detailed. Don't miss him!
Very good for age and type. One ear is chipped and the other has a repaired/glued break. Possibly a small chip elsewhere but, as you can see, this one is in remarkable condition. The hinge is good, works fine, has no damage nor chip or break to the wood around it. Our photos show him well and include all measurements.
