The piece features an elegant urn form topped with a sharply pointed finial, giving it a sculptural and refined presence—perfect for Art Deco, modern eclectic, or minimalist glass collections.
The jar is beautifully proportioned, measuring 5-1/2” in height, with a 3” upper diameter, and a square pedestal base measuring 2” x 2”. The black amethyst glass appears opaque in normal lighting but traditionally reveals deep violet tones under strong light, enhancing its collectible appeal. The green foot adds a rare and eye-catching two-tone contrast reminiscent of mid-century jadeite production.
A charming decorative accent for a vanity, shelf, or small glassware display.
Estimated Production Year: circa 1930s–1950s.
