Fabulous clear blue peacock color glass manufactured by Boston & Sandwich company in the 1800s for use as a scientific equipment thermometer shows much better in person. These are rare to find. And even more rare to find the painted Chinese Mandarin figures depicted under palm trees holding flowers or palm fronds in brilliant colors. They date circa 1880. These are missing the thermometer inserts as shown in the glass recess on each pyramid shaped glass block. There are also a few chips and dings as shown in the picture but they do not detract from these peacock blue items. Would be fabulous displayed in a sunny window. Approximately 4 1/2″ high by 1 1/2″ bottom width. The item “Unusual Handpainted Chinoserie Antique Peacock Blue Glass Thermometer Pair” is in sale since Sunday, January 08, 2017.
