German, late 19th century
Blown glass, mercury plating, brass cap.
In excellent original condition.
This massive blown-glass Kugel in dark blue Mercury plating was likely used as a store display, possibly for a Woolworth’s Department Store, which was considered the first US retailer to offer the German-made glass ornaments starting in the 1880s. Frank Woolworth personally hand-picked the first twenty five dollar order at the German factory that was shipped to his stores.
