Unicorn / (Rampant Unicorn) / Fruit Jar. Smooth base. Household Preserving Jar Lightning or Swing stoppered. Ground lip. Aqua. Half Gallon. 243 mm. 1890s-1900s
Very Good. Would be much better than this but there is a fine 43 mm crack running down from the back lip to the shoulder. There is a residue of glue on the back lip near this so looks like someone has tried to soak resin into this crack. The jar still displays as Near Mint. There are the usual small chips and flakes around the ground lip. It's also possible that the lip has been ground down a bit more in modern times as it is a bit smoother than normal - any work done here has been particularly minor. Small scuff mark to the O and second N of Unicorn. There are some light scratches around the body. Lovely strong embossing for this type of jar and great looking display piece. Comes with original bail and correct lid. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $300 - 500
