A charming Victorian scent bottle featuring a finely cut crystal body fitted with a gilded sterling silver hinged lid. The lid is decorated with embossed floral motifs and incorporates a miniature photographic portrait beneath a glazed panel, likely serving as a mourning or remembrance keepsake.
The bottle retains its original ground glass stopper and remains a particularly appealing example of late Victorian personal accessories, combining practical use with sentimental significance. The crystal displays attractive geometric cutting and catches the light beautifully, while the gilt interior of the silver mount reflects its intended use for perfume or scent.
A fascinating addition to a collection of Victorian silver, mourning jewellery, scent bottles or antique vanity items.
