ANTIQUE AMBER ETCHED APOTHECARY JAR Up for auction is a beautiful antique apothecary or candy jar. It's quite large and stands about 14 3/4" tall to the top of the lid (10 3/4" without lid). The sides of the jar are decorated with 4 vertical bands that are amber stained. Each amber band is etched to clear with intricate designs. One of the bands has a "deer in the forest" design and the band on the opposite site has a rabbit (or hare) in the forest. The bands in between have an intricate scroll pattern. The lid is also etched and the tall finial is amber stained. The glass is very thick (5/16"). The outside diameter of the top is almost 4" wide. I purchased this jar from a woman who said that it had been in her family for many years. It was very likely made in Bohemia during the late 1800's or early 1900's. The engraving is very similar to many Moser pieces I've seen. The thick glass is also typical of Moser pieces. It's obviously a high quality piece. The bottom shows shelf wear that you like to see in old glass. I can't positively attribute this jar to Moser, but I guarantee it to be an antique piece and NOT a modern reproduction. Please check my positive feedback if you have any reservations about this purchase. Condition of this elegant jar is EXCELLENT with no chips, cracks, or fleabites. It has a few minor scratches and some shelf wear on the bottom that you would expect to see in antique glass. Overall, this jar looks very impressive and displays beautifully. Please take a close look at the many photos I've provided and judge condition for yourself. I think you'll be very pleased.If you collect antique glass, particularly Bohemian etched pieces, don't miss your opportunity to bid on this jar. I haven't seen any others like it and consider it to be quite RARE. My start price of only $9.99 (WITH NO RESERVE) is a ridiculous bargain and intended to spark interest. So bid now while the price is right and check back often. This jar WILL be sold to the highest bidder!While you're , please check out my other auction listings by .
