Vintage c1990’s Badger Air-Brush 2 oz Glass Paint Jar | BAB Marked Black Lid | Small Artist Supply Bottle

A Small  vintage utility jar with a great second life as display décor.

This clear glass Badger Air-Brush 2 oz paint jar features a black screw-on lid and an embossed “BAB” mark on the base, consistent with Badger Air-Brush Co. Originally made for use with airbrush paint systems, this little jar now has wonderful crossover appeal for collectors, artists, miniature displays, and Halloween styling.

The simple clear glass, dark lid, and compact scale give it just the right slightly industrial, apothecary-like look for a curiosity cabinet, Halloween shelf, printer tray, cubby shelf, tiered tray, shadow box, or collected vignette. It also displays beautifully empty or filled with non-food decorative contents such as tiny paper ephemera, faux specimens, beads, buttons, or miniature curios.

In our Midnight Mashup Manor / Luna Noire Collection, it adds a subtle vintage laboratory-and-artist-studio feel without being overly themed.
