Re-Purposed Glass Large Canister from the 1970’s

Re-purposed glass canister with solid Teak wood lid made during the first attempt to save the world’s resources.

Back in the 1970’s people were intent on saving our resources, developing solar energy, electric cars, recycling, etc. Unfortunately our corporations and politicians were not intent on making the necessary changes and nearly all of the efforts of the 1970’s fizzled out and were forgotten. Today we seem to be replaying the same story.

This big re-purposed glass canister was made out of a large bottle and has a beautiful solid wood lid. The wood is a light-weight rich Teak. Its vessel is a sheared re-purposed glass 4-liter bottle blown from a mold with markings on the base. Just as the bottle curves up, the words “4 Liters (135 fluid ounces)” are embossed on two sides.

Slight bottom-wear from surface contact over the years. Sits on a ridge of embossed diamonds which protects it from showing surface wear. Glass is in excellent condition. Lid shows just a tad of wear, no damage.

Big canister measures 8″ tall, 7″ at widest with a girth of 20.5″. Weighs 2.25 lbs.  Perfect for the kitchen and bar.  Unlimited uses.
