Delightful late Victorian cosmetics jar of cut crystal with a sterling silver lid, which has been decorated with a repoussée image of Reynold's angels surround by scrollwork. The maker's mark AWG Ltd and a Birmingham hallmark lies below. The date mark is a little tricky to identify-- it is possibly 1880, which seems early but likely later. The lid shows some denting here and there, which is to be expected as it is very light and delicate. The cut crystal jar has some teensy fleabites around the bottom edge and also two small cracks in the class extending down from the rim. These are for the most part hidden by the lid and are not obvious unless you are hunting for them. Marked with a Reg number to the inside base. A jar like this would probably have once held rouge or other unguents -- a lovely piece of cosmetic history.
Measurements: 1.75" high, 1.75" across lid (slightly less across glass base)
A lovely piece found by The Wandering Poetess in London, England.
