An Extremely Rare Victorian Silver Mounted 'Opera Glass' Bi-colour Perfume/salts Bottle.

An extremely rare silver mounted 'opera glass' double ended perfume/salts bottle. This lovely Victorian example has a hinged centre, allowing it to be opened and folded into the style of an opera glass or binocular. One end has a silver screw top for salts, the other a hinged and stoppered lid for perfume. The end for perfume is cranberry and the end for salts is Bristol blue. The glass is panel cut and the silver tops in repousse design.

Opera glass or binocular scent bottles are very rare and thus highly collectable. They are most often found in clear gall, very occasionally coloured and very rarely in two colours. A superb collector's item.

Condition :- Excellent, with no splits or dents to the silver and no chips or cracks to the glass.

Hallmarks :- Unmarked but tests as silver (often the case with Victorian perfume bottle mounts).

Length :- 14.5 cms.

Diameter :- 3 cms.
