This Edwardian sterling silver and cranberry glass scent bottle takes an icicle form, rendered in a striking cranberry red hue. The frosted glass body features carved diagonal grooves running along its length, creating an unusual tapered silhouette. A hinged silver cap sits at the neck, detailed with relief embossed floral and foliar motifs across its rounded surface. The object measures 10 cm high, 3 cm wide, and 3 cm deep. This piece makes a practical addition to a dressing table or bedside table display as a functional scent bottle or a decorative cabinet piece. The interior lid includes light gilding and houses the original glass peg stopper. The silver components bear clear and readable Birmingham hallmarks for 1904 by maker Charles May, presenting a complete collector's item with smooth surfaces and crisp carved details.

An Edwardian cranberry glass scent bottle is a small personal vanity vessel crafted during the early twentieth century, featuring rich red-toned glass produced with gold salts and finished with metal fittings.

The glass body was blown or moulded using gold chloride to achieve the cranberry colour, after which hand-carved or cut patterns were applied and a sterling silver collar or cap was fitted to the top.

Authentic pieces generally display period hallmarking on the silver mounts, hand-finished glass details such as polished pontils or precise cuts, and natural wear along base contact points.

Small glass scent bottles can be displayed on a dressing table tray, positioned within a glass cloche, or arranged alongside other vintage vanity items on a bathroom shelf.

Clean the glass exterior using a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding complete immersion to protect the silver mount, which should be polished separately with a dedicated silver cloth.
