Featured EAPG Daisy Button pickle jar?

I believe this pickle jar is from the 1800s. Don't know much about it. Any info would be great.

 

If i were a pickle....I'd want to live there...........

 

Lol. Yep.

 

We've done pickle jars here before....but damned if I can remember where to find the thread.......folks will be by in the morning.....they'll have better answers.....

 

Photos in better light and without the clutter would help, any marks?

Sorry. I should have took the photo without it being in my cabinet. No marks. But the pattern is daisy button I believe.

 

many companies made very similar daisy & button designs; photos of the glass showing edge details, profile and dimensions might help. looks EAPG era c1880s

 

OMG! I never heard about Pickle Jars or saw at least one. They are so beautiful! Even some of them look like huge Faberge Eggs.

 

Hi,
It looks nice but It needs better photos. A lot of reproduction jars were made in the 70s/80s. They fit nicely into original frames. My friend paid a lot of money for a vaseline pickle castor, she is a very astude collector. I had the misfortune of having to tell her the glass was a replacement. She thought I was crazy but then showed her the advertisment of all the repro glass available. It is a beautiful piece but that darn glass replacement kills the deal.

The castors have also been made in recent times. Some photos without the glass and of any marks may also help.

 

That Pickle Caster insert is probably newer. LG Wright sold a lot of them out of his warehouse. Also, Rosso Glass Co. sold a lot of them too. Fenton Glass and many other Co.'s Made them. Here is EBay's auctions.

I will give measurements. The design is daisy button and the glass is very sharp like my other EAPG. A lot of the repros were really smooth.

 

The jar is four and a half tall and 3 wide. No markings but print looks to be daisy button and the glass is very sharp. Not smooth.
The stand is 11 inches tall and the bottom is marked with a W638. The bottom of the stand is 4 and a half wide. The tongs are six and a half long. I hope this helps with figuring out what year this is from and who made it.

 

old or not....it's elegant !

 

I've wanted one for soooo long and you don't see many of them at antique shops or estate sales

 

2 thoughts - First, I suspect the top is a "marriage." It should have a flange that covers the smooth rim of the glass to keep the lid firmly in place.

Second, the W is way oversized as compared to the numerals, which seems strange. It may actually be a maker's mark. Have you checked the interior side of the tongs for marks?

 

No marks on the tongs. I didn't think the lid was original. But the jar I believe to be. The mark on the bottom of the stand I also believe is a makers mark

 

Even at max expansion of the picture of the marks, it's difficult to see what that really is. Almost looks like it was scratched in, rather than impressed. If you hold the bottom at various angles to strong light, do you see anything else?

In the meantime, I'm going to ping @DragonflyWink who has quite a collection of vintage catalogues, in case the decoration at the top of the frame strikes a chord.

 

The W looks to be engraved or scratched in but the 638 wasn't. I believe the jar itself is real EAPG. The frame I don't know. Ill be looking for the celery jar to go with it

 

Just a suggestion, the pattern is called "Daisy AND Button", its a nit pick, but the AND is just as important as the Daisy. Original name, Hobnail.
