The seller notes it is a very old model, and this is supported by the handle design, which is distinctly hand-formed and unlike modern production pieces. The French glass cloche dome sits directly on a flat surface with no accompanying base plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cloche is blown from clear glass with a faint warm tint visible in certain light. The knob handle at the apex is the most distinctive feature: a rounded bulbous form with a textured, petal-like or berry-cluster top, clearly hand-worked and characteristic of older French glassmaking. The dome transitions smoothly from the rounded crown to a straight cylindrical lower section, creating a classic bell profile. Two areas of damage are present and must be noted honestly: a crack running from near the base of the handle down toward the dome body, and a chip at the lower rim. Both are visible in the close-up photographs provided. These flaws are the reason for sale at a reduced value, as the seller states explicitly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions as provided by the seller: 15.5cm wide x 19.5cm tall \/ 6.1\" wide x 7.7\" tall. These measurements refer to the dome only, without a base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the damage, the cloche retains strong decorative presence and the handle form alone makes it a point of interest for collectors of antique French glassware or farmhouse-style interiors. It could serve as a display cover for small objects, dried botanicals, or as a prop in a styled interior setting where condition is secondary to character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-optimised --\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57386264527192,"sku":"326416999979_A449_17E0_169B","price":104.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_545d957e-cd09-44b7-bc28-bbb79b0e7b7f.jpg?v=1784786087","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-glass-cloche-dome-vintage-2307269","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
