Takahashi Handblown Glass


I found the first two photos in this post on the internet somewhere, to show you examples of Takahashi hand blown glass canisters with the original labels intact.
 In the photo below are the pair I found at a thrift store here in town. The larger one has a very faded label remaining, and a little damage on the handle, as you can see:

  
Another example (in amber glass) with the label intact is seen below:



Mine again, shown from a different angle:

I was lucky to find them. I think if the labels had been complete and legible, they would have been priced far higher than they were!
I love 70's glassware, and the fact that they are this pretty tangerine color makes them even more special , in my opinion.
I think you already know how tickled I get when I find great things at great prices!
Love it!

If I send a picture of a couple of jars, can you tell if they are Takahashi handblown?

To "Unknown":
I might be able to, yes.
But that's only because I collect them, so I have become familiar with the appearance of them.
(I have added to my collection since I published this post back in 2013!)
You would need to e-mail me, though, rather than commenting here.
You can do so by clicking on my name on the blog,
and your photos will not appear here, nor be published anywhere.
