Dazzling Purple Carnival Glass Tobacco Cookie Jar w Handles Cherry Cable Mosser

Description

This is an absolutely stunning amethyst carnival glass cracker jar that has 2 handles and comes with the matching lid.
The glass is a clear dark purple. The heavy carnival finish radiates a brilliant rainbow with green, purple, blue and metallic gold, while letting the natural beauty of the glass shine through.
The lovely pattern is called Cherry and Cable or Cherry Thumbprint. It has large clusters of cherries and leafs hanging from a cable repeating around. Around the bottom is a row of indented circles or thumbprints.
This pattern was originally made by Northwood in the early 1900s and later by Fenton and Mosser.
Has a short collar base and stands appx 5" tall without the cover on and 8-3/4" with the lid on, to the top of the finial.
The shape was originally made to hold tobacco or crackers,  and it is the perfect size for cookies, biscuits and any favorite treats.
Has a small straw mark that was done in the making. It is under the carnival finish and does not show or detract.
New/Old Stock and in mint condition.
An excellent example of hand made pressed glass.
Made  by Mosser Glass of Cambridge Ohio.
What a wonderful addition for your collection, a joy to use and the perfect gift.
