Magnificent and original tobacco jar with pipe holder DENICOTEA France, probably dating from the 1960s–1970s.
A very beautiful piece of vintage French design, made of night blue glazed ceramic with stunning iridescent reflections, varying from deep blue to green, purple, and turquoise depending on the light.
The jar is complemented by an elegant golden metal structure serving as a pipe holder, topped with a superb stylized 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 support. Today, it is also a very beautiful decorative and collectible item, particularly interesting for enthusiasts of French design from the 60s/70s 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 wear, especially on the lid, visible in the photographs. They contribute to the charm and authenticity of this antique piece.
