A Victorian scent bottle is a small, portable container used to hold liquid perfume, popular during the 19th century as both a personal accessory and a dressing table display piece.

These bottles were crafted from a variety of materials, including cut glass, porcelain, ceramic, and precious metals such as sterling silver for the caps and mounts.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, indicating the makers mark, assay office, and year of manufacture.

They can be displayed on a vanity tray, dressing table, or mantelpiece to add a touch of historical detail and delicate colour to a room.

Keep items away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture, and gently clean silver with a soft microfibre cloth without harsh chemical polishes.
