Description

A large five gallon capacity molded glass jar in a light blue tint, identified as a Bicentennial commemorative piece produced by Libbey Glass Company. The vessel features a cylindrical body with sloped shoulders and two integral horizontal handles. The primary decoration consists of an embossed American patriotic motif depicting a bald eagle with outspread wings, a central shield, an olive branch, and arrows, modeled after the Great Seal of the United States. Bands of embossed five-pointed stars encircle the upper shoulder and the lower base. The underside of the base exhibits molded swirling patterns and a central stylized cursive L mark and 1776. Visible mold seams are present across the base and along the sides, and the glass contains occasional small air bubbles characteristic of the molding process.

Height: Approximately 18 inches.

The item is in good overall condition with no significant chips, cracks, or repairs visible. Minor surface wear is consistent with age and utility. Manufacturing artifacts including prominent mold seams and small air bubbles are present throughout the glass.
