Description
ANTIQUE AMERICAN BRILLIANT GLASS DEMIJOHN BY THE J. HOARE COMPANY.MEASURES 8 1/2 INCHES TALL.
I BELIEVE THE PATTERN IS CALLED ROOKWOOD. NOT 100 PERCENT SURE.
I SEARCHED THE ONLINE CATALOGS ON THE RAKOW SITE BUT COULD NOT FIND AN EXACT MATCH OF THIS SHAPE.
THE STOPPER FITS PERFECT LEADING ME TO BELIEVE IT IS ORIGINAL STOPPER. ALSO THE FINE DIAMOND POINT CUTTINGS ON THE STOPPER MATCH THE BOTTLE.
THE STOPPER HAS A SMALL CHIP AS PICTURED. THE BOTTLE HAS SEVERAL VERY SMALL USAGE NICKS AND FLEABITES. NOTHING MAJOR. NO BIG DINGS OR CHIPS OR FRACTURES. THE HANDLE IS NOT CRACKED.
THE INTERIOR GLASS IS VERY CLEAN. NOT PERFECT CLEAN BUT VERY CLEAN. THE VERY VERY BOTTOM HAS A FAINT RING. OTHER THAN THAT, NO GLASS STAINING. DISPLAYS GREAT.
BOTH THE BOTTLE AND STOPPER ARE UV REACTIVE AND THEY TURN THE SAME DULL GREEN COLOR UNDER THE BLACKLIGHT.
I MENTION THESE CONDITION ISSUES FOR ACCURACY. THEY ARE VERY MINOR. FOR SOMETHING 100 YEARS OLD, THIS ITEM IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
BID WITH CONFIDENCE. I CUSTOM PACK AND SHIP EVERYTHING USING NEW PACKAGING MATERIALS INCLUDING DOUBLE WALLED BOXES. CHECK MY FEEDBACK FOR COMMENTS.
