She came off a shelf in Lorraine, where the thistle grows and the glass runs green as river water. A hundred years of pantries and preserves, and she still catches the light like nothing has happened at all.
Her lid wears its own thistle, and the iron bail has rusted to the color of old barn hinges. Turn her right, and she is as she always was.
🌾 Maker: La Lorraine, embossed on the body
🇫🇷 Origin: France, Lorraine region

🌿 Details: Embossed thistle of Lorraine, matching thistle-embossed glass lid, original iron wire bail closure
💎 Glass: Aqua glass with lovely color and clarity
🕰️ Era: Antique
Condition: There is one large chip on the edge of the glass lid, shown clearly in the photos. Turned to the back, it is not visible from the front. The jar body is free of chips and cracks; I checked the whole piece carefully. The iron bail shows age-appropriate rust and surface wear. Not food-safe and not suitable for canning.
