This is a Metropolitan Museum of Art three-faces glass biscuit or cracker jar, likely produced by Imperial Glass Co. as a reproduction of an 1875 design.
The jar features a reeded (ribbed) column body and guilloche borders.
The lid is topped with a frosted glass finial depicting three faces, sometimes referred to as the "three sisters".
The original design was created by Jonathan Ernest Miller, which became the George Duncan & Sons Glass Co. pattern.
The MMA re-issue was produced in the 1980s or 1990s. This would be great in a bathroom holding cotton ball's or a very fancy sugar bowl. I just think it's so gorgeous, and it's nice and heavy like the original was.
