FSG3609

Condition: BTEF

Price: $225.00

Description:

What a surprise!  This piece was thought to be a mustard jar.  Page 11 of the obscure 1899 J.D. Bergen Co. catalog shows the exact item labeled as "Premier," Horseradish Jar.  A copy of the Bergen catalog page 11 will be sent with the jar.

Assembled, the jar with its faceted-knob lid stands 4-inches tall; it has a maximum diameter of 2 1/2-inches.  The bottom of the lid has a 16-point hobstar.  The "Premier" design is deeply-cut for its size on a clear, water-white blank that is heavy-to-the-hand.  Unlike a large percentage of this size and type of jar, this is an American Brilliant Period blank that fluoresces the requisite apple green color; it also has clarity and brilliance.
