Early Blown Glass Canister in Chestnut Brown

Early Blown Glass Canister in Chestnut Brown

Charming antique brown glass kitchen canister. Beautiful and handy little canister from the past for your kitchen or vanity counter. Blown from a mold with hand-finished rims and cover knop. Very old glass, circa est. late 1800’s to early 1900’s. The bubble is inside the glass and is typical of old mold blown glass. The hollow knop on the lid is a bit crooked, also a result of hand-working.

In excellent, original condition with bottom-wear (caused by surface friction over the years). The old glass recipe contains inclusions (little specs within the glass). The color of the glass darkens with the thickness of the glass. Measures 5.5″ tall, 4″ wide with a girth of 12.5″.
