Cube #19

Cube in a bottle.  This bottle came with a milky glaze on the glass that was flaking off.  Most of the finish as scraped off in the cleaning, but some of it remains.  The glass surface is not perfectly clear and there are some scratches and tool marks visible.  It seems like the original finish could be used on bottles not passing QA for clear bottles to make an alternate product for waste glass.

Cube in a jar.  Originally a Tostitos cheese dip jar.  With a shallow height and wide opening, it makes for an excellent starting jar.

Cube #14

 

Cube inside Heritage pint jar.  Heritage is one of Michael's store brands.  These mimic mason jars, but likely aren't good for canning and should be for decorative purposes only.

Cube #12

 

Two cubes in a Newman's Own sauce jar.  Probably from a pasta sauce I consumed many years back.  The company did a rebrand several years ago.  The old lids have a dark green color while the new lids are lighter green, closer to a teal color.

Cube #11

 Two cubes inside a blue Ball quart mason jar.  Cursive "Ball" and regular "Perfect Mason" on the front.  Ball is not underlined.  An air bubble next to "Perfect" makes it look like a period was placed there.  Jar did not have a lid, so I paired it with a Ball zinc and porcelain I had.

Cube #10

Cube inside a vase.  Since the cube can't fall the opening, an alternate display is to just flip the vase over.  The wide lip on this vase helps keep it stable in this configuration.

Cube #9

 

Two cubes in a Atlas quart mason jar.  Unlike most mason jars with a screw lid, this jar uses tension in a wire to hold a glass lid on top.  "Atlas" "E-Z" and "Seal" on the front.  Many bubbles throughout the glass, most notably, one on the neck almost centered with the "Atlas".  The bottom has "Atlas" "E-Z Seal" and "Trade Mark Reg." on it.  The wire is heavily corroded.  Likely one of the oldest jar, being around 100 years old.

Cube #8

 

Two cubes inside a Straus quart milk bottle.  Strangely, I found this in an antique shop.  Anything recent enough to have website on it should not be in an antique shop.
