What, you ask, is a hair receiver. A hair receiver is a small pot, typically made of ceramic, bronze, or silver and crystal, with a hole in the lid, kept on the dressing table in the victorian era to store hair removed from brushes and combs. They had a finger-wide hole in the top to allow for the collected hair to be fed into the box.

The hair collected in these receivers was recycled in a number of ways, notably for stuffing small bags, called ratts (or rats). Used to bulk out women's hairstyles. These ratts could also be made by weaving or plaiting the collected hair, and helped in achieving the high and filled out hairstyles which were fashionable in the victorian - into the 1950s.

Some hair would be kept to make hair jewellery, and was also used for stuffing pincushions and small furnishing cushions as human hair was softer than the alternative, feathers. These lovely pieces are perfect as vanity jars to keep cotton balls, jewelry, or keepsakes. I also use them to keep foiled covered candies, and potpourri. What is american brilliant cut crystal. American brilliant period cut glass is fine quality, hand-cut crystal produced from 1876 to roughly 1920. It is considered crystal because it comprised up to a 50% lead content (versus 24% for modern crystal), which accounted for its brilliance. Cuts are made in an otherwise completely smooth surface of the glass by artisans holding and moving the piece against various sized metal or stone wheels, to produce a predetermined pleasing pattern. Cutting may be combined with other decorative techniques, but "cut glass" usually refers to a glass object that has been decorated entirely by cutting. Condition: absolutely gorgeous this piece was treasured and well-cared for.

I can't even see a nick on it the lid hole is just a little rough on the inside. Have used a black light on it, and it glows a very pale yellow. Be sure to view all photos.
