Early Rare Antique Truffle Jar Hand blown Black Glass similar C17th Onion Bottle
November 16, 2021
Please feel free to make an offer. A Very Early Rare Antique Truffle Jar Hand blown Black Glass. It really reminds me of the neck of a C17th Black Glass Onion Bottle. Beautiful in its sculptural type form & very dark green, more so black in colour. Hand blown & it. Works beautifully as either a piece of sculpture, ornament or vase. The very dark colour of the jar protects the truffle from light & allows it to preserve the taste qualities of the truffle. This type of jar is tall & narrow, but rather small in size. It takes the form of a small, stocky bottle with a wide neck. The diameter of the neck is always larger than a bottle to allow a truffle of good size to be put inside. It’s quite dense & heavy in weight. It works beautifully as a vase. In expected condition for an item of this significant age & nature. There are parts of the glass that is a sort of dappled matt none shiny in places also odd expected scratches & a very tiny nick. I expect it would probably of been dug up maybe as I’ve not cleaned it & it still looks a little dirty. The Neck outer measurements is just over 4.5 cm. The base is 5.5 cm in diameter. A Rare & unusual piece that would make a Great & Unique Xmas Present. The item will be double boxed for safety of posting. Please study the images as they also form part of the description & please do your own research.
