This Edwardian scent bottle dates from 1905 and originates from Birmingham. The piece consists of a cylindrical amethyst glass body with cut-to-clear geometric patterns, including diamond faceting and starburst cuts, alongside a fully hallmarked embossed sterling silver pull-off lid featuring scrollwork. The base is star-cut, the neck holds a clear glass stopper, and the hallmarks include the maker's mark for the Boots Company alongside the lion passant and the date letter for 1905. Measuring 10 cm high and 5 cm in diameter, the bottle serves as a decorative accessory for a bedside table in an English Country House style interior. The sterling silver hardware displays an ornate floral scroll motif on the spherical cap, while the glass body shows distinct multi-faceted clear panels beneath the purple overlay.

FAQs

During the Edwardian era between 1901 and 1910, vanity accessories frequently combined silver mounts with elaborate glasswork. Silver caps featured hand-embossed or chased foliate decoration, while the glass bodies incorporated cut-to-clear techniques and geometric diamond patterns.

Bohemian overlay glass was produced by fusing a layer of coloured glass over a clear crystal core. Glass cutters then removed portions of the outer coloured layer using grinding wheels to expose the clear glass beneath, creating faceted patterns.

Authentic British silver from this period bears four to five distinct stamped marks: the makers mark, the town mark, the silver standard mark, and a specific date letter representing the year of manufacture.

A vintage or antique glass scent bottle can be positioned on a marble bathroom counter, atop a bedside table, or arranged on a mirrored vanity tray alongside silver grooming items.

The exterior silver top should be cleaned using a soft cotton cloth and dedicated silver polish, avoiding liquid contact with the glass joins. The interior glass bottle can be rinsed gently with warm water and mild detergent.
