<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 3269018, member: 8363&quot;]What interested me about this piece was its weight.&nbsp; It is a heavy - 4 lbs 10 ozs somewhat squat lidded jar that is&nbsp; 9 3/4 inch tall and 5 1/4 inch diameter at it&#039;s widest point.&nbsp; It is unadorned except bubbles in its top and without a maker&#039;s mark.&nbsp; The top has wavy lines that I&#039;m guessing were the result of the glass being poured into the mold.&nbsp; It seems to me to be more commercial and utilitarian than household.&nbsp; I bought it to serve the function of consolidating sea shells from my years as a vacation beach comber.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>In doing research, this 10 ribbed shape keeps coming up as an antique apothecary jar.&nbsp;&nbsp; For example:</p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/911723121/antique-apothecary-jar-general-store?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=antique+apothecary+jars&amp;ref=sr_gallery-1-2&amp;cns=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/911723121/antique-apothecary-jar-general-store?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=antique+apothecary+jars&amp;ref=sr_gallery-1-2&amp;cns=1" rel="nofollow">Antique apothecary jar general store candy jar | Etsy</a></p><p>Now I realize this just might be fanciful marketing from sellers, so I thought I would ask you all. Any thoughts or comments appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]298079[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298080[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298081[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298082[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298083[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298084[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
