Item Description
A fantastic set of thirty three, glass storage jars. We always refer to these as upside down storage jars as you have to put corks into the base to keep the contents in place. They were often used as display jars in pharmacies and would contain any number of unusual objects and specimen. They can equally well be used now as kitchen storage jars. Three of them have original paper labels bearing the name of the contents and the same three also have a company name engraved on the glass. It reads “OFFERT PAR FRERES & CIE 'LE LION’ ”. Delhaize Brothers is now a supermarket in Belgium but these jars date from c.1900 so, at that time it was probably a small store. The jars range is size and the set consists of:
2 x 26cm. high by 12.4cm. diameter.
1 x 26cm. high by 10.2cm. diameter.
6 x 19.5cm. high by 8.7cm. diameter.
5 x 17cm. high by 8cm. diameter.
9 x 14.5cm. high by 6cm. diameter.
3 x 15cm. high by 5cm. diameter.
2 x 13.5cm. high by 5cm. diameter.
1 x 12.5cm. high by 5.5cm. diameter.
2 x 12cm. high by 4.5cm. diameter.
2 x 9.7cm. high by 4.2cm. diameter.
One of the labelled jars has a small chip to the foot and one of the 17cm high also has a chip to the foot. A few of the jars have slight staining, or frosting but the others are in very good condition. As a group they are very decorative.
