Clear Pressed Glass Powder Jar Lid

The item appears to be a clear, rectangular lid crafted from pressed glass, likely intended for a powder jar, candy dish, or similar container. Its physical characteristics include a somewhat substantial thickness, suggesting durability. The edges of the lid feature a decorative pattern, possibly molded during the pressing process, which gives it a textured or faceted appearance on the perimeter. The top surface is flat and unadorned, allowing for a clear view through the glass. The underside of the lid features a raised rim or lip, which would fit snugly into the corresponding base of a container. While the specific dimensions are not discernible from the image, it appears to be small to medium-sized, designed to be held comfortably in one hand as indicated by the fingers gripping it. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures, which is common for pressed glass items of a certain era. Given the manufacturing technique and style, it could date from the early to mid-20th century. The glass exhibits good clarity, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant visible condition issues such as excessive scratching or dulling, which suggests it is well-preserved. Minor signs of wear consistent with age and use may be present but are not clearly visible. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for pressed glass of its type.
