This mid-century British scent bottle dates from 1940 and bears the hallmarks of Mappin & Webb for London 1947, including the maker's mark, the lion passant, the London assay mark, and the date letter 'M'. The piece combines a clear glass body with a sterling silver collar and a pale green guilloche enamel screw-top lid. The clear glass body is incised with a grid pattern of vertical lines, and the base features an incised star design. The lid displays green engine-turning under translucent enamel, and the inner lid retains its original cork. The bottle measures 11 cm high, 6 cm wide, and 4 cm deep. It suits placement on a bedroom bedside table to hold personal fragrance or to display on a dressing table.

FAQs

Guilloche enamel is a decorative technique where a precise, repetitive geometric pattern is mechanically engraved into metal and covered with translucent enamel. It gained widespread popularity on silver vanity items, scent bottles, and dressing table sets during the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries.

Traditional mid-twentieth-century scent bottles combine a heavy cut or molded glass vessel with a sterling silver collar or cap. The decorative caps often incorporate engine-turned guilloche enamelling applied over a patterned silver ground.

Authentic British pieces feature official assay office hallmarks struck into the silver collar or lid, indicating the makers mark, silver purity standard, city symbol, and date letter. The engine-turned engraving beneath authentic guilloche enamel shows crisp geometric precision.

A vintage scent bottle can be positioned on a mirrored tray atop a bedroom dressing table or bathroom counter. Grouping vessels of varying heights creates a refined focal point in contemporary dressing spaces.

Enamel should be wiped gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water immersion or chemical solvents which can cause lifting or cracking. Silver parts can be maintained with a specialised polishing cloth applied carefully to prevent contact with the enamel surface.
