VTG 1962 MCM Imperial Chocolate Slag Honey Jar End O'Day Glass Caramel Swirl 5"
This vintage Imperial Glass honey jar from 1962 is crafted in Chocolate Slag Glass, also known as End of Day Glass, featuring rich caramel brown and soft white marbling unique to each piece. The swirling coloration creates a one of a kind finish, while the ribbed honeycomb body and domed lid with raised bees give it a sculptural Mid Century American design with strong decorative appeal.
Made by Imperial Glass Co., a respected American glass manufacturer known for its high quality slag glass production, this covered jar was originally sold as part of their decorative giftware line. An original Imperial Glass paper sticker remains affixed to the bottom, adding authenticity and collector appeal. The molded base provides stability and enhances the overall presentation, making it well suited for display on shelves, hutches, or in curated glass collections.
Both functional and decorative, this jar works beautifully as a storage vessel, candy dish, vanity container, or display collectible. Its distinctive coloring, honeycomb detailing, and bee motif make it a desirable addition for collectors of Imperial glass and MCM décor.
