Description
Vintage faceted glass round bottle stopper with frosted plunger. Stopper is 2.7 inches high. Ball is 1.25" wide. Plunger circumference is 2 1/8" on top and 2" on the bottom. Heavy weight (1.9 oz.). Very good condition for vintage glass. No cracks. Scattered tiny bubbles within the stopper are visible only upon close inspection and are suggestive with it having been created prior to about 1920. (See photo #3.)“Bubbles are rare in glass produced after 1920, so the presence of a bubble may help to date a bottle… Collectors do not view bubbles as ‘damage.’ Some even prefer bubbles because they add to the visual appeal of the glass.” (Quote is from

(I don't feel confident in my ability to determine if something is glass, crystal or lead crystal. Because it is heavy, I would lean toward categorizing it as lead crystal. But because I'm not sure, I chose to describe it as "glass.")
