Vintage Hefty Sun Purple Blown Glass Cruet Bottle with Stopper

Vintage Hefty Sun Purple Blown Glass Cruet Bottle with Stopper

Gorgeous large hefty mold blown glass cruet was made a long time ago with glass that contained manganese dioxide.  This type of antique glass when exposed to the sun turns the clear glass into hues of purple. 

 This glass cruet in a soft purple hue measures 8-1/2" high x and a 5-1/2" in diameter at mid point and 3" in diameter at the base.

This cruet has a condition issue with some chips on the base of the topper and a couple small chips on the top itself, and the glass inside is somewhat cloudy with a small nick on the top of the handle.

It's captivating sheen is simply irresistible; behold its splendor in the photo!
