About the Item

This elegant sterling silver–mounted crystal jar, complete with its original lid, spoon, and matching under-plate, is a refined example of early 20th-century European tableware, where function, craftsmanship, and presentation were treated as inseparable. The cut crystal jar is richly decorated with precise geometric and foliate cutting, producing excellent clarity and sparkle. The weight and sharpness of the cuts speak to high-quality glassmaking, designed to catch light from every angle while remaining practical for daily use. The form is compact yet substantial—ideal for mustard, preserves, honey, or other table condiments. The jar is fitted with a domed sterling silver lid, smoothly finished and topped with a sculptural finial that provides both visual interest and easy handling. A neatly cut spoon slot allows the original matching sterling spoon to rest comfortably in place without disturbing the lid—an important detail collectors always look for, and one that is so often missing. Beneath the jar sits the original sterling silver under-plate, shaped to cradle the vessel securely while protecting linens and tabletops. The plate’s broad, polished surface reflects both the crystal and silver above, giving the set a composed, formal presence when in use. The silver is stamped “835”, indicating continental European silver purity, commonly used in Germany, Scandinavia, and surrounding regions during the period. The marks confirm authenticity and quality, while the soft, even patina throughout suggests careful use and proper age. Highlights: Cut crystal jar with excellent clarity and detail Solid sterling silver lid, spoon, and under-plate Original matching components throughout Continental European silver standard (.835) Ideal for mustard, preserves, honey, or table service Whether placed on a breakfast table, afternoon tea service, or formal sideboard, this complete set exemplifies old-world attention to detail—where nothing was an afterthought and everything had its proper place. A small ensemble, done properly, which is always harder than it looks.
