FAQs

During the 1920s and 1930s, dressing table jars were functional vanity accessories designed to hold face powders, creams, or small items, typically featuring engine-turned silver lids paired with cut or etched glass bases.

These jars generally feature a thick glass or crystal body decorated with hand-cutting or etching, topped by a solid sterling silver lid often engraved with geometric or engine-turned patterns.

Authentic British silver items feature a series of official hallmarks stamped into the metal rim or lid, including a makers mark, the lion passant indicating sterling purity, an assay office symbol, and a specific date letter.

Place the jar on a bathroom counter, dressing table, or bedside table to store small items such as jewellery, cotton pads, or paperclips, combining functional storage with historic design.

Clean the sterling silver lid gently using a soft cotton cloth and silver polish to clear oxidisation, while washing the glass base separately by hand in warm water.
