This Victorian scent bottle is a small collector's piece dating from 1870. The rectangular body is made from emerald green glass with faceted panel-cut sides, paired with an embossed silver cap and a hinged lid that opens to reveal the original peg stopper. Visible details include intricate repoussé decoration on the rounded silver top, a smooth polished metal collar, and the deep saturated tone of the Bristol Green glass body. The bottle measures 7 cm high, 3 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. In a modern home, this piece suits placement on a bedside table, dressing table, or vanity surface to hold perfume or function as a decorative display object. Its compact proportions allow it to sit easily on a shelf or display cabinet among other small Victorian antiques.

FAQs

During the Victorian era, scent bottles were essential personal items used to carry liquid perfumes or smelling salts. Silversmiths and glassmakers collaborated to produce decorative containers, which were often displayed on vanity trays or carried in purses.

These vessels were typically crafted from coloured or clear cut glass, including Bristol green, ruby red, and cobalt blue varieties. The caps and collars were commonly made from sterling silver or nickel silver, featuring chased, engraved, or embossed decoration.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples often exhibit hand-cut glass facets, pontil marks on the base, and period hallmarks or makers marks on the silver mounts. Natural wear around the neck stopper and rim is also typical of genuine age.

A silver-mounted scent bottle can be styled on a bathroom vanity tray, a bedroom dressing table, or alongside books on a decorative display shelf to add depth and historical detail.

Clean the glass interior with warm water and mild soap, ensuring no liquid enters the silver join. Wipe the silver mount gently with a specialised silver polishing cloth, avoiding abrasive creams or immersion in chemical dips.
