Remember the sugar bowl in luncheonettes or soda fountains? This is the one. My guess is that the beautiful brass lid was originally nickel plated - the brass does look great. The body is nice heavy pressed glass. As one photo shows there is an old chip on the bottom of the foot - it must be old as it is quite smooth. It is 4 1/4" tall and 6 1/2" in diameter.I remember them as late as the fifties but I think this is pre-war (II).
