Vintage Square Glass Inkwell / Apothecary Jar with Plastic Lid & Mother of Pearl Buttons
This delightful vintage clear glass jar brings together two highly collectible worlds: vintage vanity utility jars and antique sewing notions. The set features a heavy, thick-walled square clear glass base paired with its matching stepped, gear-edged plastic lid. Inside, it comes pre-filled with a beautiful assortment of genuine vintage mother-of-pearl, shell, and early plastic sewing buttons in classic cream and white hues.
Originally designed as a desk inkwell, a miniature apothecary jar, or a commercial product container, its compact footprint and geometric charm make it a standout accent piece. It is ready to display exactly as shown, offering a nostalgic, cozy touch to a sewing room, craft space, or antique-inspired vignette.
