Vintage Powder Box, Ribbed Glass Vanity Jar with Raised Tulip Flower Design, circa 1950s

Pretty vintage powder box, made of glass and likely dating to the 1950s or so. The pressed glass jar is ribbed and features floral accents - they appear to be tulips. Perfect for holding small jewelry, coins, buttons or other small items that tend to accumulate on one's dresser. The jar also has a gold tone metal lid with gold brocade fabric under a plastic covering - this has a lot of condition issues, but i'll include it anyway. As mentioned, the lid does have some condition issues.

Some moisture must have seeped under the plastic covering on the lid and caused discoloration. There is also discoloration on the sides of the lid and scratches on the interior of the lid. There are some imperfections to the glass along the ribbing; i don't think they are chips, but rather manufacturing flaws.

Measurements: 3.5" in diameter across the lid; 1.75" tall. Weight (w/o packaging): 9.4 oz.

No visible flaws or wear. Excellent - has been used and/or may have very minor noticeable flaws that do not detract from the use or aesthetics of the item. Very good - light wear and/or noticeable flaws that may warrant optional repairs, but can still be used as intended.

May be missing parts/pieces, but doesn't impact use. Good - visible wear with flaws that may warrant repairs before being used as intended.

Fair - numerous flaws and/or especially fragile. Likely needs to be repaired before being used as intended. May be missing parts/pieces that impact use. Cannot be used as intended without repair. To be used for parts, repair, display or as photo props only. Missing parts/pieces that impact use. I aim to please, and describe every item to the best of my ability.

But please note that my vintage items often received frequent use back in their day, so may show visible signs of wear and age. Personally, i wouldn't have it any other way, as i treasure those marks of the past. This item is made of glass, metal and fabric.
