Description
Antique Blown Glass Covered Jar Canister
Unusual covered jar blown in four parts. Probably from the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. Could be older. Early American Style.
Big jar with original oversized lid makes a great kitchen canister or vanity jar. Hand-blown and hand-tooled. The folded up base, the vessel, the lid and the finial were made separately then applied together. The pontil mark contains debri from the furnace that was transferred to the jar by the rod. The maker polished the area around the pontil mark, but the mark itself was left rough. There are tool marks and inclusions within the walls of the glass also. May be American glass, or perhaps from the Bohemian regions. The folded-up base is often seen on antique Italian glass, but the presence of trapped bubbles and debri inclusions on this old jar nearly rule out an Italian origin.
Interersting and unusual shape. Very sturdy and useable. In excellent condition with a medium-weight band of bottom-wear. Measures 9″ tall, weighs 2.5 lbs.
