The piece exemplifies the combination of decorative glass and a metal frame characteristic of the early 20th century. The simple, cylindrical shape of the metal part, the large arched handle, and the functional lid give the entire piece an elegant, timeless character.

The glass body features delicate vertical ribbing and a decoratively shaped base. The metal frame has retained its striking, silvery appearance with natural signs of age and use.

Date: circa 1910–1930, most likely around the 1920s.

No manufacturer’s mark or hallmark indicating the silver fineness was found on the object; therefore, the metal frame is offered as a silver-looking metal / likely silver-plated, without attributing it to a specific manufacturer or fineness.
