Pewter and glass owl condiment jar with spoon
History
This decorative owl-shaped condiment jar combines pewter and glass elements to create a whimsical serving piece. The owl head forms the lid while the glass body serves as the container, accompanied by a small spoon for serving. The piece features amber glass eyes that give the owl a lifelike appearance. Such novelty tableware became popular in the late 20th century as functional art for the home. Collectors of bird-themed tableware and decorative pewter pieces are particularly drawn to these types of items for their combination of practicality and decorative charm. The craftsmanship of the detailed feathers and realistic owl features makes it appealing to those who appreciate unique serving pieces.
