The glass is in nice shiny condition with no major chips or cracks but it does have a tiny side lip chip and some surface scratches, pictured and mentioned for accuracy. It has been irradiated to give it its beautiful deep purple color (an artificial process that turns antique clear glass in a beautiful deep amethyst/purple colored glass, it is about the equivalent of decades of glass overexposure to the ultra violet rays of the sun; the manganese which is one of the key ingredients that they used to take to get clear glass prior to 1910 reacts and becomes dark amethyst/purple in color, actually very few fruit jars have manganese in them and most are over 100 years old. Please take note that the color is not flashed on the glass nor applied, it is derived from the natural chemicals in the glass.). It comes with a deep purple colored lid which is in excellent condition.
