Figural Elephant Humidor and Match Box, Made in Bohemia, Ferdinand Gerbingand

Figural Elephant Humidor and Match Box, Made in Bohemia, Ferdinand GerbingandHere is a lovely antique ceramic figural humidor and match safe in the shape of an elephant. The humidor was made by Ferdinand Gerbingand in Bohemia. It is missing the lid. Most examples of this humidor have colored paint on them, while this one is painted a black bronze like color throughout. It is in good condition with some shipping in both ceramic and paint, but overall makes a great display piece. The bottom is marked FGW 1385. Dimensions: 7. 5"
