Italian Glass Canister Jar in Dark Blue

Large vintage Italian kitchen glass canister with ‘Made in Italy’ embossed on the seat. The neck and cover are ground to match and provides a good tight seal. The lid handle is a flat oblongish disc. It was blown from mold in a rich deep dark blue glass that catches glimpses of amethyst. The grinding on the neck and insert was done by hand. In great condition. Has one trapped bubble within the glass and three small chiggers on the inner rim where the cover insert bumps against the glass. The chiggers can’t be seen when the lid is on. Medium weight solid ring of bottom-wear on seat from years of surface contact. Glass is clean and brilliant.

Measures 9.25″ tall, 5″ wide with a 14½” girth. Thick walled glass weighs 2½ lbs. Made in Italy, circa 1960 – 1980.
