French Large Dome Jar on Black Pedestal

Clear glass bell waiting politely for something precious to protect.

This large glass dome jar on a black pedestal is from France, and is contemporary. France has a long history of glassmaking, and domed glass covers have been used for centuries to protect and show small objects while keeping dust away. Tall, clear glass dome with a rounded top and straight sides, resting on a black circular base with stepped, layered edges. Light reflects softly in the glass, and the interior is empty. It is 16 inches high and 11 in diameter.

Prepared for anything, as long as it is small.
