RARE Louis Agassiz 1871 Harvard Flint Glass Specimen Jar COA New England Co NR

This listing is for a rare antique Louis Agassiz handblown glass specimen jar from the department of Zoology at Harvard in the 1870s. Agassiz is a famed 19th century biologist & geologist who taught at Harvard for a few decades until his death in 1873. Among other things, he was well known for having custom larger-than-normal specimen jars made with expensive flint glass by the New England Glass Company for his well-known "Ichthyology Department" in his quest to popularize science. He only had 21 of these specimen jars made.

His specimen jar for sale today measures about 9.5" tall, 5.75"" wide and is comes with a certificate of authenticity and guidebook for his collection. This one of a kind scientific relic is in excellent condition, with minor marks. Please see the detailed photos below and contact us with any questions before bidding.
