Excellent. (8.2). Possibly better than excellent. Whatever the extra dome is at the top is totally unknown and unique. This is moulded in place, the seam goes up through this and to the top of the dome where the glass folds in. In from this fold is some more glass that goes further in, leaving an opening of a little under 30 mm, this extra bit of glass is jagged and has a chip or two, almost looks like where the glass blower snapped off the rod when blowing this piece. Really, really unusual, and never before seen by collectors. The rest of the jar is pretty much perfect. There is some grime but this should clean out easily enough. Minor scratch or two. If you want a stand out in your Vacola collection, this is it!. Estimate: $750-1000
