- Lot Description
MT. WASHINGTON ENAMEL-DECORATED CRACKER / BISCUIT JARS, LOT OF TWO, opaque white satin surface with polychrome-enamel and gilt floral decorations, the urn-form example having Pansies decoration over shaded yellow-to-pink pseudo-Burmese ground, the flaring-base example having blown-molded pattern and having Chrysanthemum (spider mum) decoration inside a gilt border with green surrounds; silverplated embossed metal mounts, covers, and bail handles, each jar's cover stamped "M.W." to underside, and with pattern numbers inscribed to underside of the bodies (the urn-form reading "3926" and the other reading "3929 / 254."). Mt. Washington Glass Co. Late 19th century. 9 1/2" HOA (including handle).
Literature: Wilson/Spillman - Mt. Washington and Pairpoint Glass, Vol. 2, p. 57, fig. 14-5; Sisk - Mt. Washington Art Glass, p. 193, bottom right; Pairpoint Manufacturing Co. 1894 Trade Catalogue Reprint, p. 108, top right.
Catalogue Note: This opulent and lesser-studied style of enamel-decorated opal glass dates to the late Mt. Washington/early Pairpoint era, an era when the Gilded Age "was at its peak", as described by St. Aubin in his foreword to the reprint of the combined company's 1894 catalogue. Similar items are described in the catalogue as having "Rich Colonial" decorations or sometimes "Albertine" or simply "Rich Decorated". The mold used for the larger jar is more frequently seen in Royal Flemish.Condition
Excellent overall condition with a few discolored scuffs to the pseudo-Burmese, and expected losses to plating of the metal components.
- Provenance
From the estate of Louis St. Aubin.
