Victorian period Sheffield 1870 English hallmarked solid silver and cut glass very fine quality oval shaped vanity jar or soap jar.
This would have been used to store and seal a bar of soap, and now makes a wonderful jar or bottle to store anything on dressing table, bath or desk.
With beautiful panel cut glass sides and star cut base to bottom, surmounted by a very finely engraved and heavy gauged silver top, having a lovely vacant cartouche to centre. This would have been a very expensive dressing table piece when made.
Size 3.5 inches high by 3 inches wide.
Weight for shipping: 227 grams.
The silver is in very good condition and the glass has some tiny fleabites near where the panels meet the edge of the silver top only.
A wonderful item to use for dressing table or desk.
