Pair of Flower Encrusted Porcelain Scent Bottles/ewers, Minton C. 1840

19th century
Description

A pair of charming porcelain scent bottles made by Minton c. 1840

The scent bottles are very pretty, clearly influenced by a Rococo Revival style that was all the rage in 1820-40 in England.

They are shaped as ewers with raised scroll handles and beautifully decorated with applied colourful flowers, delicate pink tint and gilt highlights to the rims. The stoppers are also profusely decorated with tiny encrusted flowers.

The scent bottles are unmarked, but there’s a few marked identical examples can be found online, so guaranteed to be genuine and authentic.

Dimensions: height – 12 cm, width - 6.4 cm

Condition: good condition without damage or restorations. There’s some typical losses to the applied décor here and there, but nothing drastic, please refer to photos to see.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Popularised in the 1830s and 1840s by English factories such as Minton and Coalport, flower-encrusted porcelain vessels featured three-dimensional, hand-modelled floral appliques inspired by Continental Rococo Revival aesthetics.

These ewers were crafted from fine porcelain, featuring individually hand-shaped ceramic petals and leaves applied prior to firing, finished with overglaze enamel hand painting and gilded accenting.

Authentic period examples exhibit high-relief floral modelling, soft glaze lustre, hand-applied gilded highlights along handles and spouts, and occasionally impressed year ciphers or painted pattern numbers on the base.

These miniature decorative pieces serve as elegant accents on a bedroom dressing table, a bathroom vanity counter, or curated within a glass display cabinet alongside other fine ceramics.

Dust gently using a soft, dry artist brush to clear intricate crevices without catching petals, avoid full immersion in water, and display away from high-vibration areas to prevent chipping.
