Made of fine porcelain and hand painted. Beautiful shads of green with pink flowers and gilded trim. Excellent antique condition. No chips or cracks. Some staining inside the jar. "In Victorian times, women brushed their hair every night and cleaned the brush, saving the hair in a hair receiver on a vanity dresser. The hair was used for hairstyles or crafts. The hair could be stuffed in a net and worn as an extension (called switches that attached to her hair- twisted or braided) or underneath real hair (called a ratt - to give it more volume). The hair could also be used to stuff pincushions (the oil in the hair kept the needles and pins from rusting). Hair was also used to make artistic pictures with multi-color hairs or crafted into memorial jewelry for loved ones." Items are guaranteed to be authentic and in the condition described. I pack with care and use new (or clean used) professional packing products. All sales final except for misrepresentation which is rare, but always made right. I appreciate your business!
