Antique Van Bergh Silver Plate & Cut Glass Dresser/Vanity Jar, Rochester NY, c. 1900s

A charming antique dresser or vanity jar featuring a scalloped, star-cut crystal base paired with a silver-plated lid. The lid is elaborately hand-chased with scrolling acanthus foliage, a beaded/dotted border, and a wavy engine-turned ground, with a blank cartouche at centre (never monogrammed). The glass body has a faceted, lobed form with a cut star to the underside. Stamped beneath the lid “Made & Guaranteed by The Van Bergh S.P. Co., Rochester, U.S.A.” with pattern number 3821 — Van Bergh operated 1892–1926 before being absorbed into Oneida Community Ltd. Note: “S.P.” denotes silver plate, not sterling; general wear/tarnish to the lid consistent with age, and light wear to the glass rim. A lovely piece of American Victorian/Edwardian vanity ware.
