Vintage Ruby Red Glass Apothecary Jars with Circus Tent Lids – Matching Pair
Matching pair of vintage ruby red glass apothecary / bonbon jars in the classic Empoli-style, dating to the mid-20th century (c. 1960s–1970s). Each jar is made in two parts (jar and lid) and features the distinctive stepped “circus tent” style lid, which is both decorative and elegant.
The glass is a rich ruby red colour and shows a subtle orange glow under UV light, most noticeable in the lids, consistent with cadmium-based colouring commonly used in vintage glass of this period.
Each jar measures just over 20 cm in height. The original lids fit well and sit correctly, though they are not airtight, as expected with decorative glass jars of this type. No labels, stickers, maker’s marks, or pontil marks are present.
Condition:
Both jars are in very good vintage condition. No chips or cracks observed, though light signs of age may be present on close inspection. They display extremely well.
Ideal for display as apothecary jars, bonbon jars, or purely decorative mid-century glass pieces.
