A crystal and silver jam dish with spoons, 19th century

A crystal and silver jam or sugar jar with a lid ending in a fruit-shaped handle. The crystal body, cut with eight faceted octagons, is centred on a recessed oval; it stands on a foot decorated with moving seaweed and rococo shells. The handles are decorated with a scrolling stem ending in a bunch of grapes. The square stepped base ends in feet with the same motif.
