FAQs

A Victorian scent bottle is a small, portable container used in the nineteenth century to hold liquid perfume, smelling salts, or vinegar, allowing Victorians to counteract unpleasant odours or vapours in public spaces.

These pieces were typically crafted from coloured or clear glass, such as Bristol blue, cranberry, or uranium glass, and often featured mounted caps and lids made of sterling silver, brass, or sometimes gold.

Authentic pieces generally display period hallmarks on the metal caps or collars, hand-cut or mouth-blown glass characteristics with natural imperfections, and original internal stoppers or cork screws.

These small decorative objects can be displayed singularly or in small collections on a mirrored tray, dressing table surface, or within a glass-fronted cabinet to add historical interest and rich colour to a room.

Clean the exterior glass gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Polish silver components carefully with a non-abrasive silver cloth, taking care not to let polish residue enter the glass interior.
