Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: Truly a beautiful antique, which is difficult to come by.

Condition: The shaker is in very good condition, with no breaks, cracks, chips, or repairs. There are a few small scratches on the base and few air bubbles in the glass.

However, these are difficult to see and do not compromise the quality or beauty of the piece. The threaded collar has some soiling consistent with the rubbing of the metal against the glass when the cap in screwed on or off.

The rim has a slight roughness which is original to the making of the piece. The lid is also in good condition having only a couple of relatively small dings. The piece is all original and looks great. Please see photos to appreciate beauty and condition of this rare piece.
