A characterful mid‑century German snuff bottle in salt‑glazed stoneware, molded with “Zwiefacher Schmalzlerfranzl” lettering and a relief portrait of a Bavarian gentleman in traditional dress. The original cork and rich cobalt blue glass stopper are present, adding a striking contrast against the soft blue body.
One side features the gentleman in low relief, while the reverse is decorated with hand‑painted alpine floral motifs in deep blue, red, and white, echoing classic Bavarian folk art. Zwiefacher refers to a lively southern German folk dance, making this a charming piece of regional tobacciana with cultural roots.
This listing includes the clear glass globe display case and wooden base shown, creating a ready‑to‑style presentation for a bar cart, snuff or tobacciana collection, or Bavarian‑inspired vignette.
