Vintage denicotea france tobacco pot pipe holder – iris art ceramics

Magnificent and original tobacco pot with pipe holder DENICOTEA France, probably dating from the 1960s–1970s. A very beautiful piece of vintage French design, made of glazed ceramic in midnight blue with stunning iridescent reflections, varying from deep blue to green, purple, and turquoise depending on the light. The pot is complemented by an elegant golden metal structure serving as a pipe holder, topped with a superb stylised representation of a horse's head, which gives the whole piece a lot of character. Originally, this type of object was intended to store pipe tobacco while allowing the pipe to be placed directly on its stand. Today, it also constitutes a very beautiful decorative and collectible item, particularly interesting for enthusiasts of 60s/70s French design and vintage smoking accessories. The piece bears the embossed marking under the base: DENICOTEA – P.C. – FRANCE It also retains its old label: "Art Ceramic – Exclusive Models" Overall vintage condition is good. There are small signs of use and age, particularly on the lid, visible in the photographs. They contribute to the charm and authenticity of this antique piece. Era: 1960s–1970s. Origin: France.
