Originating in the nineteenth century, these scent bottles combine opaque opaline glass coloured with trace amounts of uranium oxide and fitted with silver mounts, designed to hold liquid perfumes or smelling salts on a dressing table.

The glass body was blown or moulded and cut into faceted geometric shapes, while the silver collar and cap were hand-embossed or chased before being fitted securely to the bottle neck.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit characteristic green fluorescence under ultraviolet light due to the uranium content, feature late nineteenth-century silver hallmarks or maker marks, and display hand-finished faceting.

Displaying small glass bottles on a vanity tray, styled bookshelf, or sideboard alongside complementary glass objects creates an understated focal point in contemporary dressing rooms or living areas.

Dust the glass with a soft, dry cloth and clean silver elements gently using a specialised silver polishing cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage seals or glass finishes.
