Crackle Glass Potpourri Holder with Brass Lid

This item is a spherical or rounded, clear crackle glass potpourri holder topped with a brass-toned metal lid. The glass body exhibits a distinctive crackle effect, characterized by a network of fine fissures throughout the glass, which creates an interesting texture and plays with light. The glass appears to be hand-blown or manufactured to achieve this specific texture, possibly through rapid cooling after heating. Its transparency allows any contents, such as potpourri, to be visible. The lid is made of a brass-colored metal, possibly brass or a brass-plated alloy, and features an openwork, ornate design on top, likely for releasing the fragrance of potpourri. The design appears organic or Art Nouveau inspired, with swirling or leaf-like patterns. The metal shows some signs of age, possibly a slight patina or tarnishing, which is consistent with brass over time. There are no visible chips, cracks, or repairs on the glass from the image, and the metal lid appears intact, though a closer inspection would be needed to confirm its precise condition and material. This type of item was popular in the mid-20th century as decorative home accents. The craftsmanship suggests a manufactured piece, rather than artisanal, but it has good decorative appeal. The overall condition appears good, with expected signs of age for a vintage home decor piece.
