I love dated, engraved glassware.\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis cylindrical lidded jar was made in 1934 for the Confiserie Le Frère in Le Havre, Normandy — the kind of bonbonnière that once sat on a shop counter filled with sweets, its identity etched directly into the glass. The inscription curves around the body in neat period lettering: *Confiserie Le Frère, Le Havre*. The date 1934 appears on the lid. Clear and weightily made, with a domed lid topped by a solid ball finial, it is simple, functional and entirely elegant. Patricia looked up the confiserie; it no longer exists — which makes this jar all the more worth keeping. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFrom the collection of Patricia and Walter Wells, this bonbonnière would be at home on a kitchen shelf, a bathroom ledge, or a dressing table — holding cotton balls, sugar, small chocolates, or simply nothing at all. It is the kind of object that asks to be noticed: a small, clear record of a Norman confectioner, a year, and the French habit of marking things as though they matter.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight wear.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 9\" high x 6¾\" diameter \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 23cm high x 17cm diameter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54310859374930,"sku":"25511","price":484.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC02211_c2821ee2-bb8d-422d-947a-dd90ffd4e122.jpg?v=1787165624","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/antique-french-glass-candy-jar-dated-1934-9","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
