Vase Decorated With Cigar Bands, Folk Art, Circa 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, exceptionally dense and finely executed. The vibrant period lithographs feature a profusion of decoration including the famous Uiltje brand (with its owl motif), coats of arms, medals, and highly precise gilding. Remarkable condition: The object retains its original glossy and protective varnish, which has preserved the brilliance of the pigments for over a century. A truly distinctive piece: Ideal for a cabinet of curiosities, an office, or an interior design seeking exclusivity. This is a rare (if not impossible to find) historical piece in this pristine condition and would be difficult to reproduce today. The base is likely porcelain or ceramic. I will take special care with secure packaging, perfectly suited to fragile items. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
