    Description

    This is a true Antique Vintage European dresser jar, powder jar or trinket jar.
    It is likley from France or Germany circa 1850 to1920
    The ROUND jar is made of brass and lined with clear glass that is fixed (it can not be separated from the brass outer shell)
    The lid is STUNNING, GORGEOUS, AND VERY RARE.
    The color is PURPLE GLASS round faceted stones set in a circular pattern, a total of 5 in purple and one larger glass stone set in the CENTER and highter thatn the other set glass stones.
    The lid fits beautifully on the top of this jar.
    The jar has no marking, however, an expert tells me that this is a European design jar.
    The photos do not do this piece justice, it is more elegant in person
    This would make a BEAUTIFUL GIFT
