French Small Glass Dome Jar on Base

Tall clear dome on a black plinth, waiting for something worthy to shelter.

This small glass dome jar on base is from France, and is contemporary. A jar of blown or molded glass pairs a clear, light-catching body with a solid foot, a form French glassmakers have produced in many sizes. Tall, narrow transparent dome with a rounded crown sits over a short black turned base. The base steps outward in several rings, finishing with a smooth satin surface. Inside, the pedestal is empty and lit softly. It is 12 inches high and 4.25 in diameter.
