Where to find more info about Crisa glass bottles?

Nice bottle! I also have one I picked up at local thrift shop for $5! I couldnt pass it up!

Iv long held an interest in wine and vinegar making and have several carboys already so I left it in the house.. hoping for an idea what I might do with it!

While we live in a stick built home now, we are planning to build a nice rustic log built home here in Alaska, now that we're retired.. and our decor is largely functioning antiques! Our cookstove is a turn of the century Great Majestic wood fired cookstove.. A 1892 Kimball pump organ.. Antique loom and spinning wheel (to use to spin Yak's wool primarily).. a couple of antique oil/kerosene hanging lamps and same in table types.. many smaller (functional) antiques for decor and use..

Iv been looking at this bottle for several years and am stumped at what I might do with it! I have a shop and capacity to do nearly ANYTHING.. but so far its just a neat old bottle!

If ANYONE has ANY ideas what I might do with it.. that would fit into my decor.. Id really be greatful! Not interested in altering the original bottle.. such as things that involve drilling holes in it though..

Thanks to everyone in advance!

What a great buy! I l love it. You could use some dry decorative branches and maybe even some of the pretty tiny lights in there and it would look beautiful.

I have the exact same jar only it looks like someone has modified it by cutting a hole in the side about 4” in circumference and a smaller hole closer to the bottom a little smaller than a dime. I’m thinking the smaller hole was made to feed fairy/Christmas lights through. Does yours have the holes? I have no idea what I’m gonna do with it but I love glass jars!

Oh lucky you! I wouldn’t modify it either. I wish the previous owner had done mine but oh well! Still a beautiful jar. Good luck with your aha moment. Would love to see what you come up with.

Hey Mona. Yours was a lamp - very popular in the 60's. Here is a link to one I found on Esty. I have one and think it is really cool. Also, saw a pair that sold for $2,600 on 1stdibs. WOWZA! Here is the link

It is a lamp. Check it out https://www.etsy.com/listing/500177224/mexican-bottle-glass-table-lamp-demi?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=demi+john+glass+lamp&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1

Nice, i have one too. had no idea it had any value :)

I just found one of these on Facebook marketplace. I knew nothing about Crisa, but thought it was beautiful

Mine had the large hole, so made a terrarium.

Hi would you be interested in selling it? I had one and I dropped it and broke it. I am heartbroken over it. Please if you don’t have any plans for it I’d buy it

I think these bottles are far too large for a lamp and a shame anyone would put a hole in them!

I bought one at an auction a few years ago so don't remember what I paid but I guarantee it wasn't more than $50, likely far less. There's one with a hole on eBay right now for $280!

I'm keeping mine. Love it. Had it simply sitting in my gray bathroom. I do have plans to turn it into a terrarium however, could it be move perfect for that?

Just beautiful and an excellent conversation piece. All I know about Crissa is it was a glass making company. Since the neck is so narrow, all I could see is a plume like plant in it, just experiment and see what you like.

What a beautiful find. Crisa glassware is made in Mexico and starts with sand as the most basic ingredient. Just as all beaches are not the same, not all of the sand we use is the same, but you can rest assured that the raw materials we use in making our glass are considered free from BPA, cadmium, mercury and lead.
