Featuring a precision lathe-turned flush lid that rests securely on an interior lip, this heavy stone canister serves as a sophisticated storage box for jewelry, desk accessories, or vanity essentials in Modern Organic, Wabi-Sabi, and Mid-Century Modern interiors. Complimentary, fully insured standard shipping is included with every purchase.\u003cbr\u003eDeep Cultural \u0026amp; Historical Background\u003cbr\u003eRooted in ancient Mediterranean and Silk Road lapidary crafts, brecciated stone carving celebrates the natural beauty of geological re-crystallization. Formed over vast tectonic eras when rock fragments break apart and become bound in a calcite and iron-oxide rich matrix, brecciated marble offers an intricate, non-repeating pattern across its entire surface. Lapidary artisans carve each vessel on a water-cooled stone lathe, turning the exterior to a smooth cylindrical contour before hollowing out the interior and cold-polishing the stone to highlight its varied mineral inclusions.\u003cbr\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Surface Character\u003cbr\u003eThe jar is in excellent vintage condition with an intact, glossy polished finish highlighting the natural angular grain. The lid seats smoothly onto the inner shoulder, creating a flush, clean profile. Unpolished lathe tooling marks remain visible along the interior cavity walls, testifying to authentic hand-turned production, while the flat base provides stable placement on fine furniture surfaces.\u003cbr\u003eDimensions, Shipping \u0026amp; Display\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 4.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eWidth\/Diameter: 3.0 inches\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 3.0 inches\u003cbr\u003eWeight Profile: Heavy \/ Solid Stone Weight\u003cbr\u003eShipping: Free Standard Shipping (Fully Insured \u0026amp; Securely Boxed)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belle Afrik Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60049578983710,"sku":"BA-0264","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/5176\/7326\/files\/il_fullxfull.8491424934_3884.jpg?v=1790371375","url":"https:\/\/belleafrikarts.com\/products\/vintage-red-brecciated-marble-lidded-jar-stone-trinket-vessel-box-4-5x3","provider":"Belle Afrik Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
