A Victorian scent bottle from 1870 combines sterling silver and pale green vaseline glass. The swirly body has spiral fluting with a graduated pale yellow vaseline glass tone, topped with an embossed silver cap and a hinged spring-cap lid. A small cabochon detail sits on the neck. The silver elements show detailed embossed decoration and turning. Measuring 7.5 cm high, 3 cm wide, and 3 cm deep, the piece sits upright on a flat base. Place this scent bottle on a bedside table in a bedroom as a dressing table accessory. The glass body displays a pale green tint, while the silver hardware includes a white spherical cabochon set into the collar. The domed lid features floral embossing radiating from a central point. The glass remains clean with no cracks, and the silver cap is fully functioning.

FAQs

Victorian scent bottles were personal vanity accessories designed to hold perfumes or smelling salts, often featuring glasswork combined with silver or gold mountings.

Craftsmen frequently combined blown or moulded glassincluding clear, coloured, or vaseline glasswith sterling silver, silver plate, or brass caps and stoppers.

Authentic examples typically feature hallmarks or makers marks on the metal mount, ground glass stoppers beneath metal caps, and hand-finished glass elements such as swirl fluting.

These small decorative pieces work well displayed on dressing tables, mirrored trays, or inside glass curio cabinets alongside other period glass and vanity items.

Clean the glass body gently with a soft cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, while polishing the silver elements with a non-abrasive silver cloth to prevent tarnish build-up.
