Description

A stunning quality Edwardian globular cut glass dressing table jar with fluted detail to the walls leading down to four squared feet. Mounted in silver with a hinged cover inset with a superb red guilloche enamel with starburst design. This extraordinary early red enamel is rarely found and a truly striking pop of rich colour against the silver. Made in Austria, c.1900 by the noted silversmith Georg Adam Scheid who specialised in small fine quality silver and enamel pieces such as cases, boxes and vanity pieces such as this. The mount and cover marked GAS and the Austrian hallmark for 900 standard silver.

It measures 6.5cm (2 1/2") high and 7.5cm (3") wide. The silver mount is fixed to the jar and it has a generous 2.5cm (1") central aperture to easily decant face or scented creams, etc.

In excellent condition with no damage or repair and very minor handling wear.

FAQs

Guilloche is a decorative technique where a precise, intricate pattern is mechanically engraved into a base metal, such as silver or gold, which is then covered with a translucent layer of enamel. This method gained immense popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly within Art Nouveau and Edwardian designs.

These jars traditionally combine a blown or cut glass body with a sterling silver or silver-gilt mount, featuring a lid decorated with vitreous enamel over an engine-turned metal core.

Authenticity is generally determined by examining hallmarks, maker marks (such as those for Georg Adam Scheid), silver purity stamps, and the quality of the hand-applied enamel work and glass cutting.

This piece can be displayed on a dressing table, a marble bathroom counter, or an open shelf to introduce a pop of vibrant colour and historical craftsmanship to contemporary spaces.

Clean the glass body gently with mild soap and warm water, keeping moisture away from the silver mounts and enamel lid. Polish silver components sparingly with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage the vitreous enamel.
