French 19th Century Glass Melon Cloche

About the Item

Large, blown-glass melon garden cloche. Formed as a single piece of clear glass with a solid knob handle. This one has a unique and irregular form, with flaws and imperfections that add to its organic characteristics. The solid glass knob has been partially lobbed off, and is in keeping with the thought that knobs were routinely broken-off from 19th cloches to allow an even diffusion of heat and light through the glass.
