Description
C-18134
c. 1910s-1920s; Likely English or American Manufacture Elegant cut glass biscuit jar featuring a faceted geometric body with alternating clear and frosted panels. The jar is topped with a polished silver-plated lid engraved with a floral wreath motif encircling the top, reflecting Edwardian-era design sensibilities. Its weighty glass construction and refined detailing exemplify early 20th-century table service ware designed for both decorative display and functional use. By the early 1900s, both English and American glassworks-such as those in Birmingham and New England-produced high-quality pressed and cut glass biscuit barrels with plated fittings, blending artisanal craftsmanship with modern mechanical precision.
Light surface scratches and faint wear to lid plating consistent with age; glass body remains clear and free of chips or cracks.
5.5" Dia. and 7.75" H
