Huge, heavy beast of a jar, very early, probably Pre-Revolutionary. Dark amber. Surface bubbles, tons of character, wobbly, crude, leans to one side. Rustic squat version, not often seen. If you collect black glass, this monster is the one you want. On display, you will get plenty of praise from your guests. Heartbroken to sell it; am moving house.
