ABOUT PRODUCTID 13564
This late 19th-century Prussian lidded container is crafted from clear, dense crystal with a distinctively cool, neutral tone. Its design features subtle vertical faceting and panels on the body, lending an understated geometric elegance typical of the era’s move toward functional simplicity. The flat, round crystal lid is crowned with a wide, cylindrical silver mount—smooth, highly polished, and free from decorative excess. The harmony of crystal and silver demonstrates refined period craftsmanship and careful construction, while the restrained proportions and lack of ornamentation refer to late 19th-century modern sensibilities. The object is preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or patina.This vessel speaks quietly of an era in which simplicity and material quality eclipsed superfluous embellishment. The cut facets capture light like the panes of a refined 19th-century drawing room, while the silver collar reflects the cool luminosity of evening gatherings. Together, crystal and metal provide a subtle statement of everyday luxury rooted in Prussian reserve—an elegant union evoking the presence of bygone rituals.Within a collection of serveware or showcased on a contemporary table, this container could be paired with white porcelain or a substantial wooden tray to highlight the cool transparency of crystal against softer textures. It would work well as a singular accent in a minimalist living room, complemented by silver candlesticks or dark lacquered surfaces. In settings that draw from Art Deco or classic glassware, its understated geometric form offers a nod to both museum-worthy lineage and quiet sophistication.
