GREENTOWN *RARE* CHOCOLATE CACTUS FOOTED SUGAR!
Greentown Extremely *RARE* Chocolate Glass Cactus Pattern Pedestal Sugar/Sweetmeat! This is one of the most difficult items to find intact in the entire Cactus Glass pattern line of shapes. Jacob Rosenthal developed "Chocolate Glass" for the Indiana Tumbler & Goblet Company (aka Greentown) and was released to the public in May of 1902. The very successful line was the star production of the firm until it was destroyed by a Catastrophic Fire on June 13, 1903. As with almost all of Original Greentown Chocolate Glass that survives today, this item may have in the making small air bubbles, dark ash spots or streaks withing the glass as well as edge stress lines created during the cooling process all of which are not considered damage and are natural occurring anomalies inherent to the brittle Greentown Chocolate Glass. This item stands 9 1/2" tall and measures 4 1/2" across at the widest point. This item is in SUPERB CONDITION with no chips, cracks or repairs. Ground Insured UPS Shipping is $15.00 in the Continental U.S.
