This unusual Victorian perfume bottle originates from 1890. The piece is formed from a hand-blown emerald green cut glass body paired with a gleaming sterling silver flip-top lid, showing a domed cap shape, a diamond-cut pattern with faceted glass, and a gilt-lined interior bearing London silver hallmarks for 1893 along with the maker's mark for J.G&S (John Grinsell & Sons). The glass is free from cracks or chips with only minimal age-related wear, and the silver lid opens and closes smoothly with a strong hinge and secure fit. The perfume bottle measures 10 cm high, 9 cm wide, and 9 cm deep. It suits placement on a bedside table as a decorative accessory within a home today.

FAQs

Late Victorian scent bottles were dressing table accessories crafted to hold liquid perfumes or essential oils. They frequently featured cut or pressed coloured glass paired with sterling silver mounts bearing official hallmarks.

These bottles were primarily constructed from lead crystal or coloured glass, such as ruby or emerald, fitted with sterling silver, gold, or silver-gilt caps and collars.

Authentic pieces generally display British hallmarks stamped into the silver collar or lid, indicating the assay office, silver purity mark, date letter, and makers mark. Additionally, period glass displays characteristic hand-cut facets or pontil marks.

Arrange the bottle on a mirrored vanity tray, a marble bathroom counter, or alongside books on a bedside table to introduce rich colour and historical detail.

Clean the glass exterior using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Silver mounts should be polished gently with a dedicated silver cloth to maintain lustre without removing natural patination.
