Item description
This genuine milk glass jar with several panels of blue Delft Dutch style scenes painted all around was a part of my grandmother’s estate. I do not know how old it actually is (est. 1970‘s), but the milk glass is genuine when I hold it up to the light and see the red in the edge of the glass. It reminds me of a shaving canister used an eons ago by barber’s, but most likely used as a tobacco humidor or cigar jar since my grandfather smoked both a pipe and cigars.
This nice Jar is in excellent condition and could be used to store candies, old shaving memorabilia, used as a grease jar, small toys, jewelry, soaps or precious letters folded and tucked away. However, it has the scent of potpourri in it which is what my grandmother used it for. Would look awesome with a collection of other milk glass opaline jars and Dutch style items.
CONDITION: Excellent - no chips, cracks, crazing or breakage. The slide-on, pop-on lid is made from plastic and fits securely. It measures approx. 6” inches tall by 4-3/4” inches in diameter. The top and bottom bowed-out edge rings have a textured feel while the center with the scenes depicting a fisherman’s village lighthouse has a smooth finish. I have not seen another jar depicting this particular scene.
I could not find a manufacturer’s mark and do not know what was once held inside. It’s possible that it was made by Echt Company of Germany during the 1960’s/1970’s and also known as Opaline Milk Glass. Ones with a windmill scene were made by the NV Willem II Sigarenfabrieken Valkenswaard Holland, Belgium from the 1950’s onward.
FINE PRINT: As with all vintage/antique items there may be normal wear, dings, dents, scratches and other unique details that do not take away from the value or function, but add to the history and character of the item. If there are any major/minor damages it will be stated above. I do not in any way clean or change this item so as not to affect its prominence or value. All inquiries welcomed. Please see my seller’s page for my Seller's Policy's and Guidelines.
