FAQs

Opaline glass is a decorative style of translucent or opaque glass developed in France during the early nineteenth century and produced widely across Europe through the Victorian era. It is characterised by its milky appearance, smooth surface, and distinct range of colours including turquoise, pink, and white.

Victorian scent bottles were commonly constructed using hand-blown or molded glass, including lead crystal, opaline, and cranberry glass. Caps and stoppers were frequently crafted from sterling silver, silver gilt, or brass, often finished with detailed chased or repousse metalwork.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-faceted or blown glass contours, polished pontil marks on the base, and age-appropriate wear to the underside. Metal caps often display silver hallmarks or maker marks along the rim alongside historical repousse techniques.

Display scent bottles on a mirrored vanity tray, a marble bathroom counter, or a bedroom nightstand to introduce colour and texture. Grouping items of varying heights creates a refined vignette on a dressing table or bookshelf.

Wipe the glass gently with a soft, dry lint-free cloth to remove dust, avoiding immersion in water which can damage internal stoppers or mountings. Silver caps should be polished carefully with a silver-polishing cloth, taking care not to let chemicals touch the glass.
