Had this little sterling lid tucked away in a drawer and set out to find an appropriate jar for it this week. Found one from France and it was half price. Winning! ~CBri
That sure looks like a Georg Jensen lid. Compare yours to the silver blossom pattern https://www.google.com/search?q=geo...=georg+jensen+sterling+silver+blossom&imgrc=_ Even though it fits, if it is Jensen, I think you need a nicer piece of glass than the new safety glass from France.
If it was a Georg Jensen I would have had a crystal piece designed especially for it. This is likely Jensen "inspired" as it is Webster. Regarding the glass, I like the French stuff because there are often little imperfections in it that make a piece unique. Plus, it keeps it functional. I don't like pretty things to sit around gathering dust (unless they are something like an original piece by Mr. Jensen). Plus, I am clumsy so replacement cost is near nothing for this kind of glass. Trust me I can break glass by looking at it. I know . . . a true talent. It will probably end up in my wife's bathroom stuffed with cotton balls or Q-tips unless I can fill it with paperclips or something fairly quickly.
How big is your lid? That's part of Webster's 1940s 'Webstercraft' line, have only seen that lid on a low covered candy dish, maybe 4-1/2 or 5 inches across - this one looks like maybe it's smaller... ~Cheryl
Always nice to have all pertinent info given to start off with. adding: Please don't take this as a snarky remark, it is not meant to be. Had it been mentioned it was Webster, I wouldn't have spent time looking for the link to Jensen. Just pointing out why it is important to include everything you know about something.
I love those 40's Danish-inspired lines. Personally speaking I would have been looking for a small dish, such as Cheryl mentioned, but if you're happy, we're all happy for you.
In all fairness, while it is aggravating to have incomplete information when asked for help, the OP here was simply sharing... ~Cheryl
Bought my flatware service many years ago, the Scandinavian-inspired 'Spring Glory', introduced by International in 1942 - still love it. Goes well with my various china patterns, the fancy Lenox Autumn as well as simpler and plain patterns. My silver serving pieces are a mixed group, mid 19th to mid 20th century, mostly Scandinavian and American, and all seem to blend well with the Spring Glory... ~Cheryl
That was my mother's pattern, Cheryl. One of my sisters has the set now. Obviously with 4 daughters, 3 of us would have to be disappointed.
Awww, obviously your Mom had good taste - my Mom's initial choice was Towle's Rambler Rose, but then she switched to Candlelight, used to think it was bland, but have come to appreciate its clean Deco lines paired with the intricate floral design... ~Cheryl
CBri - really am curious about the size of your lid, I'm kind of a compulsive silver researcher, and the Webstercraft pieces interest me. If it is the size I mentioned, the base was a shallow silver bowl with a little matching handle on the side - have never seen any of the line with glass liners or parts, but am certainly with you on putting the lid to use... ~Cheryl
When I get off the road and back home I will measure it and let you know its exact measurements. It has an interesting edge or rim that might imply a use with a metal or glass container. If it is indeed paired originally with a silver bowl, game on! I need to find that bowl! I'm not much of a silver expert but my wife and I own some nice pieces we've collected over the past many years. CBri
