Hand-Blown Green Glass Decanter or Cruet w Applied Glass Loop Handle & Stopper
$98.00 USD

This attractive hand-blown green glass vessel features a bulbous body, narrow neck, applied glass loop handle for hanging or carrying, and an original aged cork stopper. The design includes a concave recessed base (no central hole, distinguishing it from insect traps), numerous seed bubbles and subtle imperfections typical of free-blown glass, and a glossy emerald green tint with slight variations in thickness. Measuring 7 inches tall and 3.5 inches at the widest point, it has a lightweight, elegant form ideal for display. The applied glass handle is smoothly attached, curving from the neck to the shoulder, allowing for hanging (though no wire is present). This piece evokes rustic European farmhouse or cottage style and could have served as a small hanging decanter for oil, vinegar, wine, or as a decorative cruet/vinegar bottle. The absence of a pontil mark suggests a finished or snapped base common in later hand-blown work. A charming vintage collectible with subtle waves, tool marks, and air inclusions that highlight its handmade character – perfect for kitchen decor, shelf display, or as part of a bottle collection.

Origin: Likely European (possibly Spanish, French, or Eastern European such as Romanian), based on similar hand-blown green glass vessels from the region. These styles were common in rural households for practical storage or serving liquids.

Age: Circa 1920-1960, mid-20th century or slightly earlier. The hand-blown features (bubbles, no pontil scar, applied handle) align with pre-mass production era, while the style overlaps with Depression-era and post-war European glassware.

Material: Hand-blown soda-lime glass in emerald green, with natural cork stopper showing age-related patina and minor wear. Applied glass handle (hot-formed attachment).

Condition: Very good vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs visible. Light surface scratches, minor interior residue/staining from age (cleanable), and typical handmade irregularities (bubbles, slight asymmetry). Cork is intact but aged – functional yet brittle. The base is solid and concave without any hole or damage. Ready for display; gentle cleaning recommended.

Item dimensions: 7" tall × 3.5" wide × 3.25" deep
