This exquisite crystal jar is crowned with an ornate sterling silver lid in the flowing Art Nouveau style, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The lid features elegant repoussé work with sinuous lines, floral motifs, and soft curves—hallmarks of the Art Nouveau movement—expertly rendered in fine sterling silver. The body of the jar is crafted from high-quality crystal, intricately cut with a continuous pattern from top to bottom. The precise faceting and deeply etched design catch and reflect the light beautifully, creating a striking interplay of brilliance and shadow. The jar has a substantial, luxurious feel and a refined presence. The sterling lid fits securely and may have originally been intended for use as a vanity jar, powder jar, or dresser box. Today, it remains a timeless decorative piece, perfect for storing jewelry, cotton, bath salts, or simply displaying as a standalone object of beauty.
