History: These types of jars were popular from the 1930s into the 1950s, frequently sold as part of dressing table sets or individually in department stores and chemists. The printed floral lid designs often featured common garden flowers like roses, violets, or pansies—icons of mid-century femininity and domestic elegance.
 
 
The lack of a maker's mark suggests this may have been produced by a commercial glassworks for wholesale distribution, possibly British or German. These were rarely signed unless part of a high-end line. The detailed cutting and silver rim, however, place it a notch above utility glass and into the decorative or giftware category.
 
Flaws: None
