SALE Gorgeous Early 1900s Glass Biscuit or Cracker Jar Violets

Glass : By Function : Cracker Jar : Biscuit Jar

 

We are pleased to offer this fabulous old biscuit jar with handpainted violets and leaves. The jar has a lid that may not be the original; it is unmarked and we did not test it for silver content, so as not to mar the finish. It is a bit pitted and we think it may be chromed.

To the jar: it is a soft opaque off-white with lovely handpainted violets in differing shades. There is some sort og glue that has splattered across the flowers, leaving little raised dots; we did not try to remove this.

The jar measures 7 1/4" with the lid on and 6" without. The inside of the lid area has a few chips. The jar must have originally had a collar around the top. We believe that someone tried to reglue it on and that is how the drops got on the flowers. We can see drops around the top where the collar would have been attached.

Other than the 2-3 chips on the lip of the top rim, there are no other damaged areas. We will not speculate on the maker; those who collect these pieces will recognize immediately the manufacturer!
