Crystal Jar Dresser Jar? Humidor

<< < (2/2)

KSilverMoore:
Thanks for your help. I do appreciate it. I am beginning to feel that this is probably Duncan block or perhaps a similar EAPG pattern. I looked at some other Duncan block items on ebay that have ground lids and bottoms, and they just look so similar to my jar. I can't believe I'd ruled it out, so I thank you for making me take a second look! :)

As to Heisey, I seriously doubt it's their Victorian pattern, since there's no mark (although Heisey didn't always mark their pieces and Imperial did use the diamond H mark for a while before removing it from their molds) and more importantly, it just seems older than from the 1950s or later, with the way its been made and the wear on the bottom.

Some confirmation that Duncan made a jar of this type would be nice, but if I don't hear from anyone, I'll just have to schlep over to the library next week!

Thanks again!

Kristen

I can look in my Duncan book when I get home tomorrow.

Connie:
Not Duncan or Heisey as far as I can tell from my reference books.

KSilverMoore:
Thanks for checking Connie! I was really hoping it would be Duncan, but I guess I'll have to keep looking. My big question--Is it American or European? Does anyone have any further insights or know where I should look next? Thanks!

Hello:

Typically these items with the ground glass lid are called apothecary jars by EAPG collectors.  I don't know if that is a collector's term or an original manufacturers term.  I suspect the former.  

These don't seem practical as a pickle jar.  Just think about the disasterous effect of getting sticky pickle juice on that ground glass surface - you would never get the lid off again.
