This jar dates to the 1920s through 1940s, the golden era of the dressing table as a room's most considered corner. The scalloped glass base and celluloid lid with floral decals reflect the decorative Art Deco style of the period, while the engraved brass monogram gives it a personal history all its own — even without a maker's mark to trace.
