Stunning Caldwelll and Rock Crystal Cookie Jar – SOLD |
This gorgeous jar features heavy silver work by J.E. Caldwell. The glass is very reminiscent of a great bit of Hawkes work combined with silver. The top of this piece is silver plated, with a sterling rose that matches the rest of the silver’s design.
The combination of silver and polished engraving on this piece is stunning. Scrolling flowers splay across the body of the jar while silver mounts on top and bottom of the jar feature realistic flowers and foliage. Hawkes did a great deal of work like this with Gorham mounts, so it seems probable that is who made the glass on this fantastic piece.
The jar is in perfect condition and measures roughlly 8″ tall.
