This listing is for an Old Vintage Victorian English / American Brilliant Period Cut Glass 6.5 (16.5 cm) wide Biscuit Barrel or Cracker Jar. It is a rectangular shape with silver plated lid and swing handle. It has a very well done cutting with wide band of Strawberry Diamonds around body, Vertical Miters around bottom, and Rayed Base. The finial knob looks to be carved polished bone or similar. The lid is decorated with flowers and swags. I cannot find any markings on either the glass or the silver. I do not know the maker or if it is American or English. Any info would be appreciated. It Glows Green under a Blacklight. It is in great to excellent antique condition overall with no cracks or repairs. Just a nick to corner of body, and a nick to corner of base (photos 11 and 12). Age appropriate shelf wear to base. No other damage to glass that I can find. The silver plating looks perfect! It is shiny and mostly polished looking. Handle works great with no issues. Overall very clean and crystal clear in and out! Please view the photos carefully as they are my main description. (White spots in pictures are glare / lighting from photos and not actually on the item). It is pretty heavy and fragile weighing almost 3 lbs before packing and will be securely packaged and double boxed. It measures 7″ (17.8 cm) tall to top of handle when upright, 5 7/8″ (14.8 cm) tall to top of lid finial, 4 3/8″ (11 cm) tall to rim, and 6 1/2″ x 4 3/4 (16.5 x 12 cm) at widest part of body. It is 5 3/16″ x 3 3/8″ (13 x 8.5 cm) across top rim with a 4 9/16″ x 2 3/4″ (11.6 x 6.9 cm) opening. The base is 4 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ (11.5 x 6.4 cm).
