Standing at about 7.5 inches tall with the stopper in, this beautiful glass piece has deep vertical panel cuts on a weighted square body, providing a classic architectural silhouette.
Multi-faceted globe or diamond-cut ball stopper which creates brilliant light refraction.
16-point hand-cut star base and the internal seed bubbles indicate a hand-blown and hand-finished manufacturing process, likely dating the piece from the 1800's.
Versatile for use as a luxury barware accent for spirits or an elegant vanity piece for bath oils or perfumes, or just a gorgeous piece of historical sparkling glass to place in a window.
Please note and check photos, which show the stopper has been repaired.
I believe this item to be very old, as detailed by the indications I mentioned above, and in line with it's age, there are some signs of scuff marks on the bottom, imperfections in the glass such as bubbling in the stopper, which typically indicates that it was made before mass production began.
