Art Deco Glass, Bohemian Glass

By Adolf Beckert

Circa 1920

I'm so pleased to have this wonderful rare jar to share with you, commonly known as "bon bon jar" this is an early 20th century glass at it's best. Made by well known Adolf Beckert  born in Bohemia.

A transparent hexagonal glass jar with raised yellow flashed base. Jar has wonderful black enameled decoration of 21 silhouettes including dog and a monkey. Lid with black enameled decorative pattern, gilded edges and raised yellow flashed finial.

The photos don't show the true beauty of this glass, it is a stunning rare pice of art that has survived all this years in magnificent condition.

As you know back in good old days sweets and chocolate ware sold by weight, that's where this type of jars ware found in every home, storing the little pleasures of life.

Approx: 11cm in diameter, 16cm in height including lid.

Jar is in good original condition with light hair line scratches no cracks or chips. One minuscule chip to one of the silhouettes.

Please note that this is an antique item and have lived a life before you receive it any minor flaws are part of their heritage, character & charm.

Thank you
