Porcelain Lidded 6" Jar Hand Painted Portrait Scene Brass Collar & Stopper Spain

Description

Recent Charlotte, NC estate find.  We purchased a small collection of various European piece from a prominent estate and this lidded jar was included in that collection.  A very unique piece and extremely well crafted.  The collar is wrapped with what looks to be bronze or possibly copper as well as the portion of the stopper that inserts into the jar.   With this tighter seal, it's possible that this piece was intended to be for tobacco,  tea or moisture sensitive herbs.  The jar is stamped with a very distinctive mark on the bottom-side; however, we could not identify the marker.  Also marked as made in Spain and hand painted.  The piece is in outstanding condition with no chips, cracks, or crazing.  A couple little marks inside the piece, but extremely insignificant.  The colors are vibrant and the glaze has a very nice sheen.  The only minor issue we noticed is the brass sleeve on the collar is slightly tilted and not perfectly level.  Not significant, just off a bit.
