Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the fragile glass surface and silver components.

These small pieces work well when displayed on a tray on a dressing table, within a glass cabinet, or on a mantelpiece to add a touch of historic colour and texture.

Authenticity is usually determined by hallmarks on the silver mounts, hand-finished glass characteristics, and period-specific closure mechanisms.

They were typically crafted from blown or moulded glass, often cased or swirled, combined with sterling silver, silver-plate, or gilt metal caps.

Victorian scent bottles often feature ornate metal mounts, coloured glass, and intricate mouldings, reflecting the periods focus on elaborate dressing table accessories.
