Figures dressed as dandies appear at leisure across warm olive-hued glass, surrounded by delicate white scroll motifs. The detailed paintwork retains strong color and gives each figure a vivid presence, while the finial-topped lids complete the tall silhouette. At 15 inches high, the jars have enough scale to stand together on a console, mantel, or shelf. Their matched shape and decorative scene make them especially appealing as a pair, offering a balance of utility and artistry associated with late-19th-century glassware.

Each jar measures 4.5 inches wide, 4.5 inches deep, and 15 inches high. The pair is in very good vintage condition, with the original glass and hand-painted decoration intact and vibrant. One jar has a small chip on the front, as noted by the owner. Both show minor age-related surface wear, including light scuffs and small nicks; no cracks are visible, and the jars remain structurally sound and ready for display. The warm glass color, white scrollwork, and carefully rendered figures provide visual interest from every angle. Offered together, these jars would suit a collection of antique glass, apothecary objects, or decorative Victorian pieces. See less
