This late Victorian scent bottle takes a flattened circular form, paired with a repousse silver cap detailed with a leaf motif. The piece measures 5.75 cm high, 4 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. Manufactured around 1880, the construction combines white opaline glass and silver hardware, showing a circular disc body, a textured patterned finial top, and minor age-related blemishes on the smooth surface. Displaying a Victorian and Gothic style, this usable container suits placement on a bedside table in a bedroom or a dressing room. The hinged lid opens to reveal the original glass peg stopper within the compact body.

An opaline scent bottle is a decorative vessel crafted from translucent or opaque glass, designed during the Victorian era to hold liquid perfume, oils, or smelling salts for vanity and travel use.

These bottles typically combine hand-blown or moulded opaline glass bodies with detailed metal mounts, frequently utilising sterling or continental silver crafted with repousse, chased, or engraved motifs.

Authentic items generally exhibit maker marks or hallmarks on the silver collar, signs of period hand-finishing on the glass, and natural wear consistent with age around the base and stopper threads.

Display the bottle on a mirrored vanity tray, atop a stack of books on a dressing table, or integrated into a curated shelf arrangement alongside decorative glassware and trinket boxes.

Wipe the glass gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth without abrasive chemicals, and polish the silver top independently using a dedicated silver cloth to avoid damaging the metal or glass seal.
