ABOUT PRODUCTID 19996
This 19th-century Polish jam pot, crafted in the eclectic style, is made from silver-plated brass and showcases the traces of time with quiet dignity. The body features hand-engraved floral and geometric motifs, with symmetrical leaf designs on each side—a hallmark of the era’s ornamental sensibility. The domed lid is topped with a turned finial, while the edge of the vessel is adorned with a gently scalloped, decorative rim. The double-bar, angular handle, attached with visible rivets, introduces a geometric accent to the otherwise organic silhouette. The surface displays a warm, muted golden hue, with areas of patina, wear, and darkened spots; in places, the silver plating has worn away, revealing the underlying brass. The construction remains solid, bearing minor scratches, discoloration, and natural signs of use, but no major damage. Its condition is described as good, with no evidence of modern restoration.This jam pot seems to echo the voice of the 19th-century table, when ornamentation was meant to blend utility with refined decor. Silver-plated brass and painstakingly engraved details evoke images of family gatherings, each dish presented with an air of ceremony. The scalloped rim and subtle wear exposing the golden metal beneath speak of a long history—moments when this vessel accompanied both everyday and festive meals, preserving not only sweet preserves but the atmosphere of a bygone age.The jam pot could be placed on a classic dining room console, paired with porcelain tableware or cut glass.
