American Sterling Silver and Enamel Cut Glass Powder Jar. The pale blue, pink and green enamel is translucent, and is enameled over a geometric floral engine turned ground. The jar is beautifully hand cut with a geometric band and pendant floral wreathes. This piece is unmarked and is probably American in origin. The center of the lid is open. This opening originally functioned as a hair receiver: women would save hair from their brush and later use it to create fuller updos. This powder jar is now often used as the perfect receptacle for cotton balls. Diameter: 4 1/2 inches. Condition: Very Good   Price: $550   Stock #BE408
