LE Smith Moon and Stars Amberina Large 11" Canister / Apothecary Jar With Lid
Yes, yes, I know it's not ACTUALLY an Apothecary Jar. It is, in fact, a kitchen canister.
Seems to be from the LE Smith era, as it does not seem to be marked. This is the largest of the set, measuring just over 11 inches high to the top of the lid. The color is a fantastic cherry / ruby red, and it just starts to fade into orange at about the shoulders of the jar.
Now the elephant in the room. The lid has taken a beating somewhere along the line. The exterior looks fine, but the part that extends into the jar has some damage. Two medium sized flakes on one side, and a small chip (and maybe one you could call a "flea bite") opposite. Please do examine the photos so that you know what to expect. There is also a small chip around the top rim of the jar. You can see how it looks with the lid in place in photo #3.
Since I have promised to always disclose editing that isn't stuff like brightness contrast, in the interest of transparency I'll tell you that on this particular day, the dust in my office was insane! I tried to keep it off, but that day I was fighting a losing battle. I "fixed it in post," as they say. So I removed anything that I could positively identify as distracting pieces of white dust. If I didn't know for sure what it was, I left it.
If I couldn't remove a piece of dust without changing a feature in the glass, I left it in that case as well. As I stated, I did want to be transparent about that.
Please note that this bad boy weighs in over 5 pounds, and then the packing will be even more, so we're probably looking at a 6 LB package or better!
MY TERMS FOR ALL VINTAGE GLASS ITEMS
Vintage and antique glass develops "Character" over time. I do my best to describe defects. Antique/vintage glass may have air bubbles, heat checks, ash residue or shearing/straw marks from the manufacturing process. These are not considered defects.
True chips or cracks will be disclosed. I do try to describe even the smallest flaws, but I'm only human. For some people a flea bite is no big deal, but for others it is. If you would return an item for tiny chips, THAT'S OK.
PLEASE
contact me to double check the edges before shipping. I try to remember to do it anyway, but reminders can't hurt.
I consider photographs to be part of my description.  Please look at them carefully. Many times, if I HAVE missed something, it is visible in
the photographs. (And if you do see something that I haven't mentioned, please contact me so I can correct the listing!) If you have questions or want more pictures, please contact me.
I do not oil my glass. I use white light or daylight for photos. Photos that were altered in any way other than brightness, contrast, or cropping will be disclosed.
If you need to contact me, please use the "Contact Seller" link. I can only accept returns if the product was mis-represented in some way. I do double box, but if your item arrives damaged, please contact me directly so that we can resolve the situation.
