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.
