<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 4526436, member: 182"]It looks like the inside paint provides the overall color on the outside, like reverse painting. And then the birds and other decoration was painted on the outside. So it's likely the original jar was clear glass. At least it looks that way at the base. I don't have any other observations or knowledge about when it was made or by whom. As to the scent, maybe the original owner put potpourri in it which was popular in the 70s. Pier 1 sold it by the truckload.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
