FAQs

Victorian scent bottles often feature intricate craftsmanship combining precious metals like sterling silver with coloured, cut, or pressed glass, designed for personal carriage or dressing table display.

Traditional materials include sterling silver, hallmarked base metals, and hand-blown or cut glass, frequently in vibrant hues such as amber, cobalt blue, and cranberry.

Authentic pieces typically bear clear metal hallmarks indicating the assay office, makers mark, and date letter, alongside period-appropriate glass manufacturing techniques like hand-cut facets.

These small collectables work well grouped on vanity trays, displayed within glass cabinets, or positioned on dressing tables to add historical texture and reflective detail.

Clean silver components gently with a specialised microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners that damage hallmarks, and use mild soapy water for the glass interior.
