This is a \u003cstrong\u003emouth-blown Frisian thread glass carafe with original ball stopper\u003c\/strong\u003e, made in Friesland, the Netherlands, around 1900. And yes, it still has its stopper. Do you have any idea how rare that is? The stopper survival rate on antique carafes is roughly equivalent to the survival rate of New Year's resolutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is covered in those signature fine glass threads, wound in tight horizontal spirals around the entire surface — a technique that required a glassblower to apply molten thread by hand while rotating the piece. One wrong move and the whole thing was ruined. These people had nerves of steel and lungs to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe applied handle is elegant and sturdy, the ball stopper sits perfectly, and the whole piece has that slightly warm, faintly greenish tint that old Dutch glass develops over time — not a flaw, but a fingerprint of age and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 x 10 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350 grams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mouth-blown with applied thread decoration\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Friesland, the Netherlands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e circa 1900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent — original stopper present, no chips or cracks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour something good into it.
