About the Item

This silver jam jar, bearing the Vieillard hallmark (dating from the period 1818-1838), is a remarkable piece from the Restoration era. With classic elegance, it stands out for its Médicis shape and rests on a square, openwork base, supported by four ball feet, providing stability and a refined craftsmanship typical of the silverwork of the time. The body of the jam jar is adorned with arcature motifs and large figures surrounded by leafy branches, reminiscent of the mythological and natural scenes characteristic of early 19th-century decorative art. The finely engraved side handles end in graceful scrolls, adding a touch of sophistication to the piece. Its lid is embellished with a delicate floral finial, while the interior features a removable blue glass liner, creating a striking contrast between the bright silver and the deep blue, while also making the piece practical for everyday use. This set is completed by 12 small silver spoons, carefully arranged around the jar, enhancing the item’s refined and practical aspect. In perfect condition, this jam jar combines functionality with aesthetics, making it an ideal collector’s piece for lovers of silverware and enthusiasts of 19th-century art.
