This is an attractive George V Cut Glass Dressing Table Pot with a Sterling Silver Lid. The sarcophagus shaped pot is hobnail cut on all four sides with a flat base. The silver lid is plain with a gilt interior and has no initials or personalisation of any kind.

The pot is made in Birmingham by silversmith W.E. Houlston and dates to the latter stages of the First World War in 1917. There is very little information available about Houlston who seems to have been in business between 1903 and the early 1920s.

Condition is extremely good with no chips or cracks in the glass and no dings or dents in the silver lid, just the superficial surface wear that you would expect after 105 years. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The dressing table pot is 9.1cm / 3.6ins long, 4.2cm / 1.6ins wide and stands 3cm / 1.2ins high. The silver lid by itself weighs 15.6g / 0.55oz of solid Sterling Silver and all in the pot weighs 127.1g / 4.5oz.

The hallmarks, on the side of the lid, are nice and clear to read with just a little rubbing to the makers' mark. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter s for 1917 and the W.E.H makers' mark for W.E. Houlston.
