Description from the seller

An elegant, antique cookie jar from the renowned German manufacturer WMF, it is a classic example of a luxurious linens or tableware piece from the early 20th century. The item is made of high-quality thick-walled crystal glass, adorned with precise facets and geometric patterns that effectively highlight the contents and beautifully scatter the light. The sturdy chassis, flat lid, and movable decorative handle are crafted from the brand’s characteristic thick silver-plating, giving the piece durability and a noble appearance. The vessel’s design was specifically conceived for elegant serving and storage of cookies, biscuits, or small pastries, protecting them from loss of freshness. The WMF signature placed on the metal elements guarantees the highest standards of craftsmanship, making this item not only a practical part of table settings but also a valuable collectible that adds distinctive character to any coffee or tea gathering.
