Antique Crystal Biscuit Jar, 19th Century A refined and highly decorative 19th-century antique biscuit jar, entirely handcrafted and showcasing exceptional artisanal skill. The body is made of hand-cut crystal, distinguished by its subtle warm, slightly yellowish tone, a characteristic feature of 19th-century crystal production. The crystal is richly carved with vertical fluting, creating a beautiful play of light and depth. The jar is topped with an ornate metal lid and handle, featuring hand-chased and embossed floral motifs. The metal elements are silver-toned, complemented by a gold-toned rim that elegantly frames the crystal body and adds a luxurious contrast. The piece is in authentic vintage condition. In some areas, the original plating / silvering has naturally worn over time, consistent with age and use—these details are visible in the photographs and contribute to the object’s historical character and charm. • Material: Hand-cut crystal, metal • Finish: Silver-toned lid and handle, gold-toned rim • Technique: Fully hand-crafted, cut crystal and hand-chased metalwork • Period: 19th century • Condition: Vintage condition with age-related wear to plating A rare and elegant decorative object, perfect for collectors of 19th-century antiques, crystal ware, or fine decorative arts, and a striking statement piece for an interior with classic or eclectic style.
