Covered Sweetmeat Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Covered Sweetmeat Jar by an unknown artist features a clear glass jar with a diamond-shaped pattern etched around a bulbous body, a wide mouth and a pedestal base. A lid with a similar etched design and a faceted finial on top covers the jar. A small rectangular plaque sits on a white surface in front of the jar. The entire piece sits on a white surface with a light-colored background. The image is in black and white.
