Antique Cut Glass Candy Jar

Antique Cut Glass Candy Jar, designed as a sweetmeat jar to hold delectable confections, its timeless beauty makes it a versatile piece for today's home. These early sweetmeat jars were made to serve candied fruit in syrup, to be taken out with a slender silver ladle for serving. High-quality, brilliant-cut glass, with it an array of intricate patterns that catch and refract light beautifully. The precisely cut facets create a dazzling display, showcasing the skill of the glassmaker. The jar is complete with its original fitted lid. Made around 1820, with a faceted foot, incised under the bottom. The domed lid has a flower design on the very top. Whether you envision it gracing your dining room filled with colorful candies, adding a touch of vintage elegance to your vanity holding cotton balls or jewelry, or simply displayed as a stunning decorative accent, this beauty is sure to be a conversation starter. Its rich history and enduring charm make it a perfect addition for collectors of antique glassware or anyone seeking to infuse their home with classic sophistication.

An impressive piece, it does have two small dark inclusions in the bottom as shown. The top has two nicks, from that time that a new footman served his first tea at the estate, and sadly dropped the lid from nerves. Please only adopt if you can forgive this beauty that!

• Measures 4-1/4" x 6-1/4"h.
