The glass reads nearly black in places, then warms to a beautiful amber when the light moves through it. Set it on a counter, shelf or mantel as a vase for flowers and it brings quiet French country atmosphere immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bocal à truffes, or truffle jar, was hand blown in verre soufflé and likely dates from around 1800 to 1850. Pieces like this were used in French pantries and cellars for storing truffles, cornichons or preserved foods under cork or cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall bubbles, soft asymmetry and a pontil scar on the underside all speak to glass made one piece at a time. Simple, useful and sculptural... this is a beautiful example of early French glass making at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53504237568343,"sku":"GLS-012","price":410.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-glass-truffle-jar-hand-blown-2.jpg?v=1778787919","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/en-us\/products\/antique-french-glass-truffle-jar-hand-blown-bocal-19th-century-verre-souffle","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
