Antique 1871 Pressed Glass Jar with Pewter Lid - Victorian Era Kitchenware, 8"

his gleaming glass-and-pewter treasure dates back to June 1871, when telegraphs carried the fastest news and families gathered by lamplight. Over 150 years later, it remains in remarkable condition — no chips, no cracks, and the same graceful lines and solid weight it had the day it was made.

The pressed glass body catches the light with diamond and panel patterns, while the pewter lid offers grounded, rustic strength. The contrast of sparkle and substance makes it a timeless heirloom for display or practical use.

Perfect for Victorian-era collectors, antique kitchenware enthusiasts, or anyone who loves surrounding themselves with pieces that have lived full lives before finding you.
