I wasn't worried about overloading the glass shelves in my Pulaski curio, until the day the top shelf fell on the shelf under it. I gave the curio to my daughter and had my woodworker neighbor make wooden shelves that match perfectly.
Well, that is interesting. I had no knowledge concerning smelling salts. Specifically, that it would alter the clarity of the glass. I need to read up on it. The glass is very smooth and definitely feels high quality.
I am very appreciative for your input as well as others.

Thank you very much for your input. I hadn't even considered smelling salts. Actually, I don't believe that I have ever seen a documented smelling salts jar.

I cannot find any information on this little jar from Marshall Field and Company. The opening appears to be to big for perfume. The opening appears to made for a ground glass stopper. It is hazy and was perhaps a dug bottle, but does not entirely have a "dug bottle" look or feel.
Any help would...
