Colonial Quality Powder Jar

This stunning 1920s jeweled powder jar is a fine example of vintage elegance and quality craftsmanship. The lid is crafted from ornate brass filigree, richly detailed and adorned with bezel-set faux jewels, adding a touch of opulence. The interior of the lid is stamped with the "Colonial Quality" hallmark, confirming its origins and highlighting the attention to detail in its design. The lid's intricate filigree and vibrant jeweled embellishments make it a striking complement to the glass base.

The jar itself, made by Heisey Glass, is etched with an exquisite floral pattern encircling its sides, adding a delicate and timeless charm. The bottom of the jar features a starburst design, with the iconic Heisey hallmark—a diamond enclosing the letter "H"—prominently placed at its center. Known for their high-quality glassware, Heisey's contribution to this piece ensures its durability and brilliance. The glass is heavy, crystal-clear, and impeccably clean, reflecting its excellent condition.

Measuring approximately 4 inches in height and 5 1/2 inches at its widest point, the powder jar strikes a perfect balance between functionality and beauty. The harmonious combination of Colonial Quality's ornate lid and Heisey's masterful glasswork makes this piece a cherished example of early 20th-century decorative artistry. It remains in exceptional condition, making it a standout collectible or an elegant addition to a vanity display.
