This pair was designed by Jens Harald Quistgaard, the Danish designer behind Dansk’s most collected tableware, for Kronjyden in the 1960s. Each piece is wrapped in Quistgaard’s raised typography, “TOBAK” on the humidor and “ASKE” on the ashtray, under the smoky blue-green Azur glaze. Both are topped with turned solid rosewood lids. They have a quiet, graphic wit and the material honesty Danish modernism is known for, and they’re rarely found together as a matched pair.
The tobacco jar measures 5.75 inches in diameter by 4 inches tall, and the ashtray measures 5.75 inches in diameter by 2.5 inches tall. Very good vintage condition with no chips or cracks to the stoneware. The tobacco jar lid has some spotted discoloration and the ashtray lid shows general fading, both as shown in the photographs. Applied feet on the undersides appear to be attached with mounting tape and can be removed. Both pieces are marked Danmark Kronjyden. Please see all available photographs and consider them as part of the item description.
