This piece features the iconic, creamy-yellow opaque satin glass body heavily decorated with hand-painted peach/salmon background shading and raised white enamel floral accents.
Key Features & Condition:* Original Metal Lid: Unlike many Victorian shakers found today, this piece retains its original, correct period screw-on dome lid manufactured by Pairpoint. The lid features its beautiful, heavily textured pebbled pattern. The metal shows a deep, honest antique patina/oxidation, which we have left unpolished to preserve its vintage integrity.
* Strong Uranium Glow: The glass formula contains uranium oxide and fluoresces a brilliant, vibrant neon green under a UV blacklight (see photos).
* Glass Condition: The glass body is in excellent antique condition with no chips, cracks, or hairline fractures. The threaded neck ring is securely attached to the glass.
* Paint Condition: The delicate, hand-painted exterior enamel decoration remains exceptionally crisp with minimal wear considering its 130+ year age.Please note: The item comes with its original antique/estate acquisition tag labeled "#80 CSSS Crown Milano Shaker".
This is a phenomenal, investment-grade addition to any Mount Washington, Victorian art glass, or uranium glass collection.
