Lot 504: A Vintage Green Glass Carboy Terrarium
A vintage green glass carboy, repurposed as a decorative terrarium. The vessel is of hand-blown construction, featuring a bulbous body with rounded shoulders and a short neck terminating in a thick, applied-ring rim. The glass is a deep emerald green colour, typical of mid-20th century soda-lime glass manufacturing. Internal contents comprise a curated arrangement of artificial flora, including variegated white and green ivy alongside clusters of pink and red flowers. These elements are set into a dark brown soil-like substrate, with small terracotta-coloured pots visible within the arrangement. No maker’s marks or manufacturer labels are visible on the exterior of the glass body; the base is entirely obscured by the interior contents and substrate.
