Opaline glass is an opaque or semi-translucent glass, often tinted in pastel shades, which gained immense popularity during the 19th century, particularly within the Victorian and French Napoleonic III eras.

Caps and mounts on Victorian scent bottles were frequently crafted from hallmarked sterling silver, gilt metal, or brass, often featuring intricate repousse or chased ornamentation.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate wear, hand-cut facets, pontil marks on the base where applicable, and genuine silver hallmarks rather than modern electroplate.

Such decorative objects work well when displayed on a mirrored tray, dressing table surface, or within a glass-fronted cabinet to highlight their colour and craftsmanship.

Clean antique glass gently with lukewarm water and a mild detergent using a soft cloth, taking care to avoid abrasive materials and protecting any delicate silver mounts from harsh chemical cleaners.
