Well, It isn`t cold cream !!  Cold cream was rather lavishly used to remove make up !! That jar would not have lasted very long !!  I would bet its a cream sachet` jar !!  Like a perfume in cream form !! Just a dab would do ya !!   Even had that in the 50`s !!  Rose and florals were the most used !!

makes total sense--appreciated mart

Does the diamond have anything in it !! May be a light impression !! Illinois glass used a diamond with an I in it !! I think it later became Owens Illinois so maybe those initials, O or I !!  They made a lot of commercial glassware like your jar !!

nothing inside the diamond...

I was thinking perfume.  If you remember "solid" perfumes were very popular.  They were scented, almost wax-like.  You would swipe across them then put it at your temple, neck and wrist.  As time went along your body warmth would release the oils.  I even remember mom having one from Estee Lauder that made her feel like a queen when she put it on!

[mart]

Yes, I remember those too !! Could be that as well !! The flowers on the top just made me think of the sachet` creams !!

thank you kc=  It looked oddly familiar and now I know why.

Is it avon I wonder?  evening mart

[mart]

Good evening Sugarcube !!  I don`t remember Avon having one like that but,, its something to check !!  Most Avon is marked on the jar bottom !! Could be an early one though !!
