How do I date a sterling silver perfume flask?

Assay office marks, date letters and maker's stamps stamped into the silver provide the exact year of manufacture. Stylistic shifts from Georgian simplicity through Victorian ornamentation to Art Nouveau and Art Deco geometry also indicate the period.

Were these flasks meant for daily use?

Victorians and Edwardians carried these containers in reticules or pockets for personal freshness throughout the day. Double-end versions and vinaigrettes served practical needs when public odours required masking.

What is the difference between a scent bottle and a flask?

Flasks generally feature flattened bodies designed to slip easily into a pocket or travel case. Scent bottles often display upright, globular or figural glass and crystal forms meant for a dressing table.

How should I clean the silver mount?

A soft microfibre cloth removes surface dust without harming the aged patina of the metal. Care is necessary near glass bodies, enamel panels and fitted leather or velvet coverings.
