Antique Consolidated Opalescent Cotton Bale Glass Shaker, late 1800s

Collectibles : Glass, Crystal : Consolidated Glass

 

This scarce Victorian glass shaker in the Cotton Bale pattern was made by Consolidated Glass c. 1894-1895. The shaker is a soft, cotton candy pink with an opalescent upper rim and knotted accents in the center of each side. An example of it can be found in the Lechner's The World of Salt Shakers book, Volume II, page 43.

This shaker measures 2 1/2" tall and 2" at its widest point. This mold blown glass shaker has a rough, irregular upper edge, from the glass making process of being snapped off of the pontil rod, and a small nick (please see closeup photos). There are a few light discoloration marks on the glass and a shallow dent on one side of the brass lid. The cap shows signs of tarnishing but can be cleaned up if desired. There is a small nick in the brass lid at bottom thread (but still screws on securely). Thanks for taking time to browse in my shop!
