EXQUISITE EMERALD GREEN DIAMOND OPTIC ART GLASS APOTHECARY CANDY JAR
GORGEOUS GREEN DIAMOND OPTIC ART GLASS PEDESTAL APOTHECARY / DRUG STORE / PHARMACY SHOW GLOBE / COVERED CANDY JAR / URN / COMPOTE with LID COVER. A really nice design in a beautiful transparent green glass. A real BEAUTY and an ideal decorator piece for the upcoming Christmas holidays!
This luscious piece of art glass measures 10-1/2" tall to the tip of the finial and stands steadily on a wide 4-1/4" diameter foot. The mouth of the jar measures 3-7/8" diameter and the pot belly of the jar bulges to approximately 7" diameter. The glass is a transparent green and is done in a very strongly defined diamond optic design. JUST LOVELY!
I do not know the exact age or the glassmaker...but I am fairly certain that this is Italian art glass. My best guess at the age of this piece is about 40-50 years old ... MID 1900's ... MID CENTURY MODERN. She does glow a milky green color under black light and may be older than we suspect. We took an interest in these jars as my husband's grandfather was the Dean of Pharmacy at the University of Oklahoma from 1919-1949, and renowned as the longest tenured Dean at the U of Oklahoma. This is NOT his jar, of course! ;-) But, we are sure he would have admired it!
EXCELLENT CONDITION! NO CHIPS! NO CRACKS! The glass is a transparent green and she just SPARKLES! There are some bubbles completely encased inside the glass, none burst, and bubbles are a common finding in these jars. I find just a little very light, fine scratching to this jar...nothing objectionable and you will need to examine her closely to find the scratching. There is a tooling mark flaw where the pedestal foot is applied to the jar...common in these jars and it is a rough area to the feel and is visible...it looks like chipping, but it is strictly from the making of this piece. This is a STUNNING piece of old art glass, and one for your collection for sure! You won't be disappointed, she's an absolute TREASURE!
