This item takes me to the edges of what I know about antique glass. It may be crystal, and I believe the columnar design was ground. Though not marked (as far as I can see), I believe the lid is sterling silver, based on the softness of the metal and the color before I cleaned it. However, it could be silver plate. I surmise it is a vanity container--maybe part of a travel set? The other possibility is that it is cigar container (can't imagine what else would require a jar of this size and shape). There is a ding on the side of the lid and some very small surface bumps (see close up of lid). Looking for a hallmark with a magnifying glass, I noticed 2 miniscule cracks in the silver where the lid meets the jar. And I mean miniscule--I wouldn't have seen them without aid. I hope this jar intrigues you as it did me.
