AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare and atmospheric porcelain tobacco jar by C.M. Bergen, made in the Netherlands around 1920–1930. A beautiful example of early 20th-century Dutch porcelain, where craftsmanship and expressive glazing technique come together.

The pot is made of fine earthenware and richly hand-painted with a floral decoration in vivid shades of blue, purple, green, and ochre, under a glossy crackle glaze. The characteristic, somewhat flowing lines and color transitions give the piece an almost impressionistic appearance, typical of the Bergen-plateelstijl.

The lid is decorated with matching motifs and forms a harmonious whole with the pot. The inside of the lid has a small chip (see photos), otherwise it is in a particularly beautiful and original condition.

Clearly signed at the bottom 'C.M. Bergen', with model number 755 and decor code.

A refined and rare collectible for enthusiasts of Dutch porcelain, Art Deco ceramics, and early 20th-century design.
