1950s glass cosmetic balm jar

[＠inabluemoon2023] Once in a blue moon 青月精品～ 1950s glass cosmetic/balm jar This small glass jar is often called a vanity jar in English. As the name suggests, it was a storage container on an early lady's dressing table. EPNS branded on the silver can lid is the abbreviation of Electro Plated Nickel Silver. This is a technology that can be traced back to the 1840s. When the industrial revolution took off, people longed for the silver daily necessities used by the aristocrats and upper classes in the old days, but could not afford it. The price of sterling silver, the emergence of EPNS electroplated nickel Silver, and the bright color of imitation sterling silver items satisfied the middle-class people's yearning for high-priced items in the 19th century. Until the mid-to-late 20th century, consumers paid more attention to the durability and convenience of metal items, and electroplating Nickel Silver is gradually falling out of fashion. This antique glass jar is small and exquisite. The jar lid has exquisite embossing and EPNS seal. This second-hand old piece is estimated to be around the 1950s and 1960s. The item is in good condition. The Silver lid can be tightly closed. It is suitable for packaging solid protective equipment.
