Antique large pink guilloché sterling silver covered floral and ribbons etched crystal vanity dresser jar

A pretty pink guilloché enamel lid tops this antique 1920s etched crystal vanity jar. The lid is of solid sterling silver with a gold vermeil finish inside. Guilloché is a decorative technique in which a very precise, intricate and repetitive pattern is mechanically engraved into an underlying material (in this case sterling silver). This particular pattern starts with circular shapes at the center with repetitive radiating curved shapes, all topped by a vibrant pink enamel. This lid has great optics to it with a beautiful glow as the light hits it from different angles, giving it a three-dimensional basket weave. The crystal bowl is round with a floral, foliage and tied ribbons rounding the outside. The lid has no identifying hallmarks and tested as sterling silver. The large lidded box measures approx. 5 inches in diameter x 2 1/2 inches tall.

This piece may be great for storing jewelry, cotton balls or other precious tiny things. There is some minor surface wear to the enamel and crystal bottom with a few fine scratches on base of jar.

The mesmerizing enamel is in very fine condition. Condition: very good antique condition with vintage patina and vintage age wear to the silver; enamel is in very fine condition with some minor surface age wear, expected fine scratches on crystal jar bottom.

Each vintage piece has been examined by a graduate gemologist. Stone carat weights stated represent approximate weights which can vary by the limitations of measuring set gems. Due to the age, antique & vintage jewelry and sterling objects are often not perfect, and may have normal signs of surface wear, or small imperfections due to hand crafting or production in a long gone era rather than mass-manufactured nature. This is what makes each piece special and unique.
