Blue Glass Daisy & Button Canister Jar w/ Lid Vintage L.E. Smith

Description: These are canister jars from the L E Smith Daisy and Button canister jar set of 4. They are priced and sold individually. The manufacturer's ID number for the set was 7287. The largest jar is SOLD (11 1/4 inches tall, called "5 pound," and it is # 7285). The next to largest jar is 9 3/4 inches tall, called "3 pound," and it is #7283. The third, or next to smallest jar, called "two pound," is 8 1/4 inches tall and it is #7282. (I do not have the smallest jar, "one pound," which is #7281.) This color is Colonial Blue, and these canisters were made in Colonial Blue from 1971-1979.* All three jars are the same width, which is 5 3/4 inches wide at the bottom. Their lids will interchange (unlike the Moon and Star canister lids). So if you buy all the set, you can rearrange the lids to suit your needs. The jars are in great condition with no chips or cracks. They may have some wear on the bottom. The lids, however, ALL have damage (photos of the damage of the lids are shown in the variation photos): The middle size (7283) canister jar's lid has the most damage. It has a large, intact chip on the upper edge of the lid, which is about 1 1/4 inch wide. It is not in any danger of breaking out, but looks bad. On the bottom edge of the rim of the lid are a series of 3 intact chips with two cracks running up the side of the lid. This damaged area is about 2 1/2 inches wide. There also are 3 small chips on top of that area, which are about 1/4, 1/8, and 1/32 inched wide, then on around the rim are 2 more chips, 1/32 and 1/8 inches wide. The smaller canister jar (7282) has a flake/chip that is 1/8 inch wide on the outside and 2 inches wide on the inside -- or perhaps it is multiple overlapping chips on the inside edge. There is one more small chip on the outer edge that is 1/8 inch wide. These jars are great for storing dry food items in your kitchen or pantry, such as dry beans, pasta, flour, sugar, coffee, etc. The lids work fine for use. Or if you want them only for display, you can turn the damaged part of the lids towards the back and they will look fine. (Damage like this on ground glass lids is very typical due to use and age. Perfect lids are hard to come by. The alternative is to replace missing lids with cork lids, which I have done on some of mine, and they work great, too.) Because of the size and weight of these jars I do not think that they can be shipped together safely, so have calculated flat rate economy shipping for each of them. They will be shipped by either UPS Ground or USPS Ground Advantage rate (except for International). Local delivery is always available for free to a mutually agreed upon meeting place. This cannot be shipped by UPS to a post office box. Please contact me before purchase, if you need to have it shipped to a PO Box. I can't seem to add shipping variations, so have set the price for the largest jar and will refund the excess for the others. I am happy to answer your questions about this piece. *Manufacturer's ID numbers, color, dates of production and sizes were taken from the book, L. E.
