This is an early 20th century, cut glass bonbonnière and cover dating from the beginning of the 20th century, c1920.
The bonbonnière is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear consistent with some 100 years of use.
The bonbonnière is approximately cup-shaped and measures 10.3 cm (4.1 inches) in diameter at its rim. The bowl is cut with large strawberry diamonds, under which sits a couple of prism cuts. The bowl sits on an annulated knop and a vertically facet cut stem atop a plain terraced foot. The foot is radially cut to the underside The bonbonnière is 15 cm (6 inches) in height without the cover and 21 cm (8.4 inches) in height with the cover on.
The cover is cut with strawberry diamonds and prisms in the same manner as the bowl and has a cut inverted spire finial. We believe it to be the original. It is of the same colour and metal as the bonbonnière and is a good fit.
There are no significant chips, cracks, significant scratches or any other evidence of restoration. A pretty piece of cut glass in excellent condition.
Lead glass weighing in at 665 g. (~ 1 lb. 8 oz.).
