About the Item
American Brilliant Period Cut Glass and Gorham Sterling Silver Yacht Humidor, Dated July 4th, 1906 – “Issaquena”
A rare and evocative example of American decorative arts, this superb cut glass and sterling silver lidded jar—measuring 6.5 inches high by 5 inches in diameter—was likely commissioned as a bespoke presentation piece or commemorative humidor. The lid is hallmarked by Gorham, one of the foremost American silversmiths, and bears the date letter "L" for 1906, situating it firmly within the Edwardian-era yachting culture of the American South.
The domed sterling silver lid is elegantly engraved with the name “Issaquena” and the date “July 4th, 1906,” topped with a finely enameled yacht flag in red, white, and cobalt blue. This flag is not merely decorative but a meticulously crafted emblem, likely denoting an individual yacht or private club, adding a layer of prestige and maritime provenance. The name “Issaquena” may reference Issaqueena Falls in South Carolina—a site deeply rooted in regional folklore—suggesting Southern ownership or commemoration.
The body is executed in deeply faceted American Brilliant Period cut glass, showcasing radiant hobstars, fans, and cross-cut diamond patterns with remarkable clarity and sparkle. The heavy crystal and sterling top suggest it was designed for use as a tobacco or cigar humidor, with its substantial weight and tight seal ideal for preserving contents.
Blending American yachting heritage, Southern storytelling, and early 20th-century luxury, this is a singular collector’s piece of historical and visual significance.
