This item is a beautifully shaped green glass powder jar with an embroidered effect floral design on its brass-rimmed lid. The item shows the expected patina of age though is in otherwise very good condition. Embossed on the bottom of the jar are the words “Made in England”.
Extremely popular during the Victorian period, one would find such items on a lady’s dressing table, perhaps as part of a set, matching her mirror, brush, comb, and tray.
They are widely collected today for their beauty, as well as their practicality since they can be used to hold all kinds of stuff, making them a stylish trinket holder.
The jar is approximately 11cm across and 6cm in depth.
