FAQs

It is a small decorative vessel produced during the 19th century to store liquid perfume or smelling salts, typically featuring a glass body and a hallmarked sterling silver cap or collar.

Craftsmen predominantly used hand-blown glass, cut crystal, porcelain, or carved gemstones, combined with sterling silver, silver gilt, or gold mounts.

Authentic pieces often feature British silver hallmarks stamped on the collar or cap, evidence of hand-blown glass finishing such as a polished pontil mark, and original stoppers.

Display these small decorative objects on a mirrored vanity tray, inside a glass curio cabinet, or alongside books on a bedside table.

Wipe the glass with a dry microfibre cloth and polish the silver mount using a non-abrasive silver cloth, avoiding submersion in water to protect internal seals.
