An Early Victorian Jar featuring a finely engraved, heavy gauge, sterling silver lid, paired with a hand-cut glass base of striking geometric form. Originally intended for holding powders, salves, or small toiletry items, this refined piece is as functional today as it is decorative. Hallmarked for London, 1855.
