order Antique Wave Crest biscuit/Cracker Barrel glass jar made by C.F. Monroe Co., circa 1890-1910. This jar doesn't have it's original fancy metal lid with handle, but an alternative, much more informal metal beanie-type lid which has seen a lot of use and has an aged patina. Beautiful jar with pale blue, white, pink, green, yellow coloration over a creamy opal milk glass base. See around top rim of jar where original neck of lid had been placed there are glass dots or tabs to help hold in place. Raised ornate scroll detail on glass jar. A charming, lovely piece--and with it's alternative lid, a bit of a post-modern, boho chic, hybrid look.
Dimensions: Jar is 6 1/2"H, approx. 7 1/2"H with lid, 4 1/4"W at top rim, approx. 6 1/4"W at widest part of bowl, 4 1/4"W at bottom base
Condition: Jar is in very good antique condition--no chips, or cracks. Some light grey marks on surface--see last photo for detail. A bit of wear evident around rim where original lid had been attached, and on underside bottom. Lid is charmingly worn with a lovely patina and has a small dent--See photos as they're an important part of description.
