Price: $495.00 USD THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD!
Charming vintage to antique La Pierre jar with sterling silver overlay and solid sterling silver lid. The clear glass body is decagon shaped, that's 10 sides. Each one lavishly coated with sterling silver in an elegant pattern with chased foliate accents. Very unusual styling, an almost neo-Gothic design that seems to presage Art Deco period pieces. The cover, or solid sterling lid has classic Art Nouveau decoration. So perhaps this piece is transitional. Quite a unique addition to a collection of scent and salts battles. A fine dresser jar. Condition is very good to excellent. No actual flaws to note. There is very light clouding of the clear glass, some wear on the bottom exemplified by the La Pierre mark on the base a bit rubbed. The lid is perfect and a wonderful confection of decorative elements, fine artistry, with a lacy script entwined monogram: this appears to be 'CCR'. A great piecePlease see photos for dimensions and marks.
