ANTIQUE FAUX TORTOISE SHELL, SILVER and GLASS TOILET JAR 1910 : $39.16
Here we have a lovely antique Edwardian cut glass jar with solid silver mounts and a faux tortoise shell lid. Opening the hinged lid reveals the original large glass stopper which fits perfectly. The lid clicks into place with a very satisfying sound, giving an air-tight seal, and is inset with scripted monogram initials of the original owner, probably in silver. The base of the bottle is cut with a star-shaped pattern. This is a beautiful piece for the collector in excellent condition, made by a high respected silversmith.Please see the detailed pictures below.Maker: Elkington & Co Ltd. Date, Assay Office or Country: London 1910. Monogram/Crest: Central scripted monogram which I read as JW. Dimensions & Weight: It stands 3 inches high (7.5cm) and 1¾ inches in diameter (4.4cm), weighing 193gms. Silver Fineness: Sterling silver. Condition: Very Fine. The glass appears to be in excellent condition, with no nibbles that I can find. The marks are rubbed. As a guide, I use ‘Fine’ to categorize an item whose wear is commensurate with age and perhaps has minor dings; ‘Very Fine’ when condition is better than might be expected for its age. Condition is subjective, so please see my pictures and use your own judgement!
