Large antique bell jar or globe with non original black wood base, the glass is mouth blown, the bell jar dates from the early 20th century or earlier.
The Asian black wooden base has the right size but is not the original base, it fits very well and dates from about the same period, the base is in fact an antique base to place a Chinese vase, ginger jar or lighting element on.
A fragile and delicate object, authentic handmade glass with small bubbles and imperfections, the fine glass dome is not perfectly symmetrical, but that gives the object character and just shows that it is not machine made, glass blowing is a lost craft, hand blown glass products have a level of quality, uniqueness and craftsmanship that sets them apart.
Wonderful object to display a special item, a rare or fragile figurine, a flower arrangement, taxidermy, the possibilities are many!
This bell jar with base is in very good antique condition, no cracks or breaks, some superficial scratches but nothing disturbing, check the photos for more details!
