I recently obtained an antique glass powder jar. It is a cut glass and has daisy like flowers etched. It has a silver lid that has a spot for a monogram. On the lid it says sterling and before the word Sterling it has a mark I can’t identify. It looks almost like a fancy script capital “L” or a British pound sign only it appears to have 2 lines through it.
I don’t know if this is some type of makers mark or a date mark…but so far I have yet to find a definitive answer. Any info is greatly appreciated
Pretty common little powder jar !! Probably 1930 or so !! Wheel cut daisies which is more a form of etching than cut glass !! Could be a British pound sign if that’s where it was made !! That would mean that the sterling would be weighed by British standard rather than that of other countries !! Different countries have different weights/measures for sterling !!l Value about $20. to $30. USD !!
