Vase with Cigar Ring Decorations – Folk Art, around 1900

Rare collector's vase decorated with a masterful accumulation of hundreds of original cigar bands (circa 1900) This is a unique piece of folk art, with exceptional density and finesse of execution Period lithographs in vivid colours: A lush decoration including the famous Uiltje brand (with an owl motif), coats of arms, medals, and precise gilding Remarkable preservation: The object retains its original varnish, shiny and protective, which has preserved the brilliance of the pigments for over a century An object of character: Ideal for a cabinet of curiosities, an office, or interior decoration seeking exclusivity This is a rare historical piece (if not impossible to find) in this state of freshness Very difficult to reproduce today The base is likely made of porcelain or ceramic I will take particular care in secure packaging perfectly suited for fragile items Please feel free to contact me with any questions Thank you for visiting my Selency shop!
