Nude Lady Portrait Pipe

This is a porcelain pipe bowl most likely made by Schney in the first half of the 19th century. It is hand painted with a superb portrait scene of a semi nude / topless lady. This pipe matches another one I own and it looks like it is the same lady modeling for both portraits. Different positions but same style and colors. The quality is is top notch and the scene is surrounded by a gold trim. The dark haired lady is wearing a white shirt and green cloth in front of a maroon background. Her shirt is not covering her top and both breasts are exposed. The pipe is not marked but it matches the other pipe I ahve perfectly and that seems to be marked with the Schney mark of this period. The pipe bowl is a nice size being 5.25 inches long and has a top outer diameter of about 1.375 inches. The piece is in great condition with a little bit of minor wear to the gold trim on the top edge. There is a small rope attached to it which I left but can easily be cut off if one wanted and it doesn't hide issues. Please email me for more information or photos.

Price is $999
