MT. WASHINGTON HERRINGBONE AIR-TRAP MOTHER-OF-PEARL SATIN GLASS BISCUIT / CRACKER JAR, cased shaded rose to opal, satin finish, the jar's surface hand-painted with an Aesthetic Movement-inspired branching fern decoration in gold-toned enamel; having a quadruple-plated metal mount, cover, and bail handle, no markings located. Mt. Washington Glass Co. 1885-1890. 7 1/4" HOA.
Literature: Parallels Wilson - Mt. Washington and Pairpoint Glass, Vol. 1, p. 255, fig. 10-43.
Catalogue Note: Identical to the jar pictured in the aforementioned Mt. Washington/Pairpoint sales catalog, including the "Plush Rose Gold" decoration of ferns. The jar was listed there as item No. 2599, and retailed for $8.50. Wilson explains that at the time of the book's publication, the Pairpoint Crystal Company possessed a mold which produced similar chevron designs, which "probably came from the Mt. Washington factory", although he also notes that the glass may have been imported from England and merely retailed by Pairpoint/Mt. Washington.

Condition

Virtually undamaged with light wear/scuffing around base and some sticky residue around the metal handle.
