Item Details
Description
Unusual Pair of Apothecary Mold Blown Glass Show Globes, 20th c., in four parts, the teardrop stopper fitted in a hollow glass top over a baluster center, on a stepped circular base, H.- 25 1/2 in., Dia.- 7 in. (2 Pcs.)
Condition
Attractive with no significant losses or repairs. The bottom edge of the tear drop stoppers (at the tops) on both examples have a few tiny chips and abrading to edges and to the rims they fit inside; this is typical wear to any bottle/decanter glass stopper. On one example, the fitted hollow glass piece that fits into the large baluster center has been repaired above the fitting/stoppet and there is a loss (large chip) around the fitting that has been sanded smooth. Repair is very difficult to see without taking the globe apart. Lines from the moldings are visible with a few small rough edges at the seams. The stoppers do fit snuggly and rotate smoothly. In otherwise good condition.
