These nineteenth-century Victorian scent bottles are made from lead crystal and cut glass in clear and purple. Each bottle has a tall fluted neck, a panel-cut body, and a starburst base, and is fitted with a faceted flame stopper. The glass shows amethyst highlights and intricate vertical striping, with a minute nibble to the top of one stopper that requires extreme scrutiny to detect. The pair stands 23.5 cm high with a base diameter of 7 cm. They bring an ornate nineteenth-century aesthetic to a bedside table, serving as a decorative container for perfume or simply as ornamental glassware. The polished facets catch the light from various angles, reflecting the surrounding interior. Placed on a dressing table or side surface, they add a touch of period character to the room.

FAQs

Victorian cut glass scent bottles are decorative vessels created during the nineteenth century to hold liquid perfumes, scents, and aromatic oils on vanity tables.

Craftsmen layered coloured glass over clear lead crystal before hand-cutting geometric patterns through the outer layer to expose the clear glass beneath.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples often display hand-ground pontil marks, precise hand-cut facets, and original ground-glass stoppers tailored to fit each specific bottle neck.

These decorative bottles can be arranged on a dressing table tray, displayed within a glazed curiosity cabinet, or placed on a vanity counter to catch natural light.

Clean gently using tepid water and mild liquid soap, avoiding harsh chemicals or dishwashers, and ensure stoppers are removed carefully to prevent glass friction.
