    Rare antique Cut Glass Art Nouveau Glass Hair Receiver with Silver Lid
    Art Nouveau design popular in late 1890s/early 1900. Iris and floral pattern on lid.
    Heavy Cut Glass bottom with Heavy silver lid - lid has some black spots from age.
    Measures 4" at the widest and 3" tall aprox.
    Could be used to hold potpourri, tea light, but I think it would look good on a vanity holding makeup brushes.
    A hair receiver is a small pot, typically made of ceramic, bronze, or crystal,[1] with a hole in the lid, kept on the dressing table in the Victorian era to store hair removed from brushes and combs. The hair was recycled in a number of ways—notably for stuffing small bags, about 8–10 centimetres (3–4 in) across, called ratts, used to bulk out women's hairstyles. Human hair was also used for stuffing pincushions and small furnishing cushions.
    Just want to mention all my pieces are from Estate Sales.
    I do not know the history of their life before me. I inspect them all before posting them and let you know of any damage I see.  My descriptions are based on what I see and the information I collect from the Web, Etsy, Ebay, other dealers, etc.
