Condition

Beautiful vintage condition for its 100+ year age. The sterling silver lid shows a natural patina with minimal surface wear — no major dents, splits, or holes. The glass base is exceptionally bright and clear with one notable chip on an upper faceted corner rim (documented in photos). This does not affect how the lid sits on the box. Please review all photos carefully as they form part of the item description.

Note: We do not heavily polish our antique silver in order to preserve the natural patina and historical integrity. It can be gently polished upon arrival if a high-shine finish is preferred.

Shipping

This delicate antique will be securely wrapped in heavy-duty bubble wrap and shipped in a sturdy box, fully insured, to ensure safe arrival.
