Organic style blown glass jar signed Carter
Dark sapphire blue color tipped with amethyst purple. Signed on the base “Carter”. It certaintly looks like Blenko glass and has the distinctive pontil mark of Blenko. Usually Matt Carter signs his pieces with his full name and a date. Heavy bottom-wear on the base indicates old age. Interesting mystery.
Stunning, original design looks as if it was grown organically. The jewel-like blue color is gradually tipped with a hint of amethyst on the jar and the flame finial.
Hand blown. Jar rim was cut and folded down while hot. The lid is a thick flat disc with an applied twisted flame finial, and applied insert, also made by hand. The disc, flame and jar insert were applied together from three parts.
In excellent condition. Weighs 3 lbs. Jar is rectangle in shape. Measures 4″ wide, 3″ thick and 9″ tall. Pontil mark on inverted base.
Perfect for kitchen herbs and special ingredients or dry goods. Could hold cotton-balls or q-tips on your vanity. Great for bar condiments. Beautiful for display.
