One of the hottest areas of collecting in majolica is in majolica animal humidors.
These charming pieces were made by several different companies on the European continent, largely in Germany, Austria, France and Czechoslovakia. Below is a trade ad showing a couple of them.

In this economic downturn, it is one of the few areas in majolica that has not been dramatically impacted.
Josef Strnact. majolica hippo humidor.
Schiller & Sons elephant humidor.
Eichwald majolica frog humidor
Eichwald dog humidor
WS&S majolica alligator humidor
Caldas majolica turkey humidor
Austrian humidor and smoke stand
The head humidors tend to sell at lower prices than the full body animals averaging about $150-$250 unless they are particularly large like the pig head. Then they will command prices upwards of $400.
