Vintage German Brass Dolphin Relief Smoking Set - 2 Piece Duo

Vintage German Brass Dolphin Relief Smoking Set - 2 Piece Duo

This striking two-piece vintage German brass set is a premier example of mid-century European metalwork, featuring a highly detailed classical dolphin relief. The set includes a lidded tobacco jar (humidor) and a matching open-top cigarette holder or canister.

Both pieces are decorated with an intricate embossed fish and shell design, frequently associated with the high-quality craftsmanship of German studios such as Erhard & Söhne. The motif showcases stylized dolphins surrounded by aquatic textures and a traditional scallop shell border. The aged brass has developed a rich, authentic patina that emphasizes the depth of the ornate carvings, making this an ideal desktop accessory for a library or home office.

While originally designed as a premium smoking set, this German brass duo functions beautifully as a luxury desk set or vanity storage. The heavy relief and warm patina make it a versatile addition to Eclectic, Traditional, or Nautical interiors.
