Antique American Brilliant Period Cut Crystal Vanity Powder Jar

Condition Report: Please note, the original lid is missing. The base is in good antique condition. The top rim is clean and free of chips, which is a significant plus. There are a few tiny (approx. 1mm) "flea bites" to the side cutting and some minor shelf wear to the base, all of which are entirely consistent with a well-cared-for piece of this advanced age.

A genuine and stunning example from the American Brilliant Period (circa 1880-1917), the golden age of American cut glass. This is not just a vintage item, but a true piece of glassmaking history.
The Design: This jar showcases incredible craftsmanship, featuring deeply cut geometric Hobstars, elegant Fan motifs, and fine crosshatching. The base is distinguished by a magnificent 16-point Starburst, a hallmark of high-quality ABP work that sparkles brilliantly in the light.
Versatile Use: Perfect for use on a vanity to hold trinkets, jewelry, or cotton balls. It also makes a wonderful votive candle holder or simply a brilliant decorative object that captures and reflects light beautifully.
