Early Victorian Cut Glass Bonboniere

A stunning cut glass bonboniere or sweetmeat jar, in the Regency style. This delightful piece has a goblet shaped body with slice cutting and a band of hobnails. The foot is square and there is a polished pontil mark in the centre of the base. Bonboniere's were high quality items for the serving table, containing bonbons or sweetmeats, but would serve well as a preserve, spice or pickle jar. A fine example, both practical and decorative.
