Description: Rare antique blue opalescent straight-sided cylindrical spooner or jar made by AJ Beatty & Sons Glass Co. in its famous pattern known as "Beatty Rib," circa 1889. This striking vertical rib pattern came in white and blue opalescent and in several different shapes and pieces. This piece measures about 3 1/2" tall and 3 1/2" in diameter. It's in excellent condition except for a number of errant bubbles and tiny particles that seem to have been embedded in the glass during the manufacturing process. This is par for the course for glass from this era. This piece is the right size for a spooner but it could also have been the bottom of a mustard or cracker jar, because the tops of the ribs are flat instead of rounded like they are in the other pieces I have, as if perhaps something was meant to go on top of it, but this is a rare piece either way! I had the pleasure of purchasing an outstanding collection of Beatty Rib at a recent estate auction, including some very rare pieces, so please check my other listings if you collect this gorgeous old pattern, and always feel free to ask any questions! I am always happy to combine shipping costs.
