About the Item

This exquisite lidded jar, which could also serve as a bonbonnière or sugar bowl, is crafted from approximately 1 kilogram of hand-carved rock crystal. The crystal body has been carefully faceted, allowing light to refract and scatter across its surface, creating dazzling glitter effects. Originating from Italy during the Art Nouveau period, this piece is a remarkable example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, combining natural luxury with refined design. The vessel is mounted in finely worked metal, adorned with characteristic Art Nouveau ornaments. Resting gracefully on paw feet, it appears both elevated and light despite the substantial material. The matching glass lid completes the ensemble, highlighting its balance between function and decorative artistry. This jar is not only a functional container but also a true collector’s item and a statement piece. Its weight and quality underline the rarity of such an object, making it perfect for enthusiasts of fine glass, Jugendstil design, and Italian Art Nouveau.
