I got these three at the Unique on Sheridan last week:
(That’s not a very good picture, sorry. I have trouble focusing on clear glass.) I am wondering how old they are. My friend Roxana, who is a pro (check out her new blog, by the way) said that the bubbles in the glass and lack of the seam are clues, but don’t really definitively age the glass, that you have to look at the bottom and look for the bubble.
So I see a bubble, but I don’t know if it’s the right bubble. All of the jars have rings on the bottom (I don’t know if you can see them in this photo or not) but this jar is the only one with the bubble in the bottom. The glass stoppers are all chipped to varying degrees:
And those are all the clues I have. Anyone have any ideas? If they’re not old, what the heck are (or were) they for?
Glass jars…yet another thing I can’t help but buy.
