Early 20th-Century Mint Pastille Advertising Glass Jar -10¼"

This charming early 20th-century mint candy jar features a graceful, curvaceous shape and a beautifully hand-painted inscription in deep blue, showcasing the brand name "Béatrix-Val" along with the word "Pastilles Menthe" in a classic, elegant script. The original tin (fer blanc) lid, with its naturally aged patina and light signs of wear, adds an authentic vintage touch, enhancing the piece’s nostalgic appeal.

Once a staple in apothecaries, confectionery shops, and homes, jars like this were both practical and decorative, reflecting the refined craftsmanship and design sensibility of their time. The glass remains in excellent condition, while the timeworn lid tells a story of its past use, adding character and authenticity. Perfect as a decorative accent in a kitchen, dining room, or vintage-inspired interior, this jar can be displayed on open shelving alongside antique glassware and enamelware. It also serves as a charming storage container for sugar, spices, or small household items, blending functionality with old-world charm. Whether used as a standalone collector’s piece or part of a larger display, this jar embodies the elegance and practicality of early 20th-century French design.
