The famous "Jumbo" circus elephant in glass. Please note, this is not the original base for this cover but it fits perfectly and is the same color and looks great. Height is 12", diameter is 8.5". Condition is excellent with NO chips or cracks. There is a captured, internal air bubble in the shoulders of the elephant and the usual heat check to the trunk from the making. If you can find a base, this is a $1000 pachyderm. I do not think the artist on this ever saw a real elephant, but it is charming, nevertheless.

Heavy crystal with a thick layer of cranberry overlay then cut to brilliant perfection.This is a stunning pitcher or decanter in the very desirable cranberry color. The color is from a thick layer of colored glass, not flashed or tinted.The silver plated mounts are in very good condition with the only fault a few small, rough bubbles to the silver of the top rim where it was put away wet. This is not visible with the lid closed. Glass is perfect. Height is 12" to top of thumb rest, width is 7". A truly massive and elegant piece of late Victorian glass.
