This is a beautiful and rare piece of Findlay Onyx glass. This glass was made for less than a year in 1889. It was made by Dalzell, Gilmore and Leighton factory in Findlay, Ohio. Because of the brittle nature of the glass and blown layers, production did not last for very long. The pattern is Onyx, decorated with beautiful cased flowers and leaves. It is in beautiful condition with only a few very small, teeny, flea bites to the rim, which is not unexpected from this glass, and does not detract from the value, because of the extreme rarity of this glass. It has a polished mouth. It is about 5 inches high. A beautiful piece of rare American glass.

FOR SALE is a rare Findlay Onyx Muffineer or Sugar Shaker that was made in 1889. These pieces were made for about six months and the firm of Dalzell, Gilmore and Leighton Company stopped manufacturing. This piece is featured in John Shuman's "American Art Glass" book, page 73. This is the exact piece. It is 5 1/2". The one listed in Shuman's book has rasberry flowers and yellow stems, mine does not. Shuman's book is almost 15 years old and he lists his muffineer for almost 2,100. My price is much, much less.
My muffineer is in extremely perfect condition. There are no chips, cracks, dings, nothing, except in the inside of the top, it is rough, which is characteristic of the manufacturing and the way the glass turned out. This is not a damage, but all pieces are like this. The glass where you screw on the brass top, the outside, is perfect. The brass top has a beautiful patina to it and has no damage. Usually, they are bent, or the sides are slit. It also screws on easily, firm and does not wobble when it is on.
This is an extremely rare find and a piece worth having if you are a serious glass collector.
IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS PIECE, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK.
