FAQs

An Oxford lavender scent bottle is an elongated, tubular glass vessel designed during the 19th century specifically to hold lavender water or liquid perfume, typically displayed on dressing tables.

These bottles were hand-blown or moulded using lead glass, decorated with hand-applied enamel and liquid gold gilding, and fitted with individually ground glass stoppers to prevent evaporation.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-ground glass stoppers matched specifically to the bottle neck, slight surface wear on the gilding, and precise hand-painted decorative detailing.

An antique scent bottle can be styled on a vanity tray, placed alongside books on a bedside table, or displayed inside a glass cabinet to capture natural light.

Gilded and enamelled glass should be dusted gently using a soft, dry cloth or microfibre cloth, avoiding water immersion, harsh detergents, or abrasive rubbing over decorated areas.
