Lovely Victorian handblown, hand painted candy jar, floral design fitted glass discount lid, moriage painting, excellent condition, antique

One hundred and fifty years ago, this little glass jar would have been filled with bonbon and placed on discount a table near one's favourite reading chair. Ah, heaven. It is from the estate of a wealthy 1800's shipyard builder and merchant and 3 generations of his family.

Not very many of these pieces survived the century and a half since they were loved by their original owners. I think it is a great idea to have a designated candy jar, especially one next to your favourite reading chair.
This one is hand painted and handblown and is a delicate nature. It is an interesting shape, with a glass lid that fits into the mouth. Adorable dotty flowers adorn it.
It is in excellent condition and measures 7.75 inches by 4.5.


I recently purchased all the small items from the Estate of a family who owned and operated a variety of enterprises in the town famous for its tall ship building. The ships would sail the world and bring back treasures from the continent and eastern seaboard. The Victorian home was filled with these magnificent finds, added to over the decades by other generations.
I am up to my ears in magnificence.
Victorian, Edwardian, the 20's, 30's 40's and 50's....all under one large roof.
Because the items where bought from the owners, the items have not been picked over in antique shops or (shudder) thrift stores. This is a rare opportunity to own something, well, rare.
And no, I don't actually want to sell any of it.

Make every day a special occasion.

What goes around, comes around
Love of beauty and quality is happiness
