Description from the seller

Exquisite biscuit jar in opaline glass, a true collectible piece that embodies vintage luxury.

The body, made of white opal glass, smooth and luminous, is elegantly surmounted by a silver lid and a branch-shaped handle, which add an organic and refined touch.
Adorned with vibrant hand-painted blue flowers and green leaves, this cookie tin features an enameled floral motif that gleams with gold detailing, typical of the Liberty style.
A perfect example of the fusion between glass art and metalworking, from German craftsmanship by WMF, renowned for its high-quality silvered metal items from the Victorian era and Art Nouveau.
This cookie jar isn’t just a container, but a work of art that will add a touch of history and charm to any space.
Dimensions: 16 x 13 cm. with handle 23 cm

General condition good, partial loss of plating on the lid. Glass in excellent condition, no cracks or chips.
