Description
POMADE BEAR JAR, BOSTON & SANDWICH BEAR Black Milk Glass Covered Dish, c1860 #2This is a rare and very collectible Antique POMADE BEAR BOSTON & SANDWICH BEAR Black Milk Glass Covered Jar Dish, from the mid-19th Century.
This rare Antique Amethyst-Black Milk Glass Covered Jar Dish:
- is of a well-modeled Grease Bear in high relief depicting a Bear in an upright position, standing on haunches. The bear’s head is the lid; he has a muzzle, head strap and collar. The base forms the body; front paws in front; back legs are tucked under the body and feet out front;
- has a narrow-raised rim edge under the base, elevating the base slightly;
- has a fitted rim between top and bottom; the cover has an inside rim projecting downward from the top so that it slips neatly inside the edge of the base to hold it secure;
- is mold formed pressed glass, well modeled in deep relief with very good design and detail, and is
Amethyst-Black Milk Glass with opalescence and “fire”;
- this bear is in fair shape with losses- historically, a knife would be used to pry open the lid to get to the bear grease pomade, and this one has survived nicely with some loss- his head cocks to one side due to chip losses;
- is unmarked on the bottom.
Dimensions:
3.6 In. Tall x 2.0 In. Wide x 2.1 In. Deep
Weight:
7.5 Oz.
The estimated date is circa 1860.
