Vintage Glass & Silver-Plate Vanity Set with Ornate Floral Metalwork
This exquisite vanity ensemble exemplifies the refined elegance that once graced the dressing tables of England’s finest country estates. The set comprises a beautifully ribbed glass apothecary jar with an ornate silver-plated lid crowned by a classical finial, paired with a matching cut-crystal compote elevated on a gracefully turned pedestal.
Each piece showcases the period’s devotion to botanical motifs, with elaborate silver-plated leaf and floral detailing that transforms functional beauty accessories into works of decorative art. The apothecary jar, with its generous proportions and perfectly fitted lid, would have held precious powders or pomades, while the delicate compote served as an elegant receptacle for jewelry or toiletry essentials.
The warm patina of the silver-plate speaks to decades of gentle use, while the crystal remains brilliantly clear. The ornamental bases, fashioned as stylized acanthus leaves, anchor each piece with classical authority.
Dish: 6”W x 6”H
Jar: 10”H x 4.5” W
