This Edwardian scent bottle takes a spherical form with a cut glass body displaying hobnail and star cut decoration, fitted with a silver-mounted collar and a hinged lid inset with blue guilloche enamel and an applied silver coronet motif. The piece retains its original inner stopper and shows engine turned texturing beneath the vibrant blue enamel on the top of the lid, alongside polished silver mountings and a faceted clear crystal base. It measures 12 cm high and 9 cm wide. Placed on a bathroom counter or dressing table, the item functions as a decorative container for perfume while adding period charm to domestic surfaces. The clear glass refraction and bright blue enamel contrast with the metallic elements to create an ornamental accessory suitable for daily use or display.

FAQs

A guilloche enamel scent bottle is a vanity vessel featuring an engine-turned geometric pattern carved into metal and coated with translucent enamel glaze, widely produced during the Edwardian and Art Deco eras.

Traditional antique scent bottles were constructed from heavy lead crystal or cut glass, fitted with sterling silver, gold, or plated stoppers that often featured enamel detailing or engraving.

Authentic silver and enamel scent bottles usually bear official assay hallmarks on the silver collar or stopper, along with clean engine-turned patterns beneath smooth enamel application without modern synthetic fills.

An antique scent bottle can be displayed on a mirrored vanity tray, a marble bathroom counter, or a dressing table beside complementary glass and metallic accents.

Clean the glass base with a damp, lint-free cloth, and polish the silver rim with a dedicated silver polishing cloth, taking care not to submerge the enamelled areas in water or chemical solvents.
