Antique Silver Top Crystal Perfume Scent Bottle

This is a beautiful Victorian silver metal and crystal glass perfume bottle. It is 6" tall, 2 1/2" wide.

The actual bottle is silver metal covered with an ornate raised design of flowers, shells, and decorative foliate elements. The cap is similar and, attached with chain to the cap, is a simple metal top where, uncovered, the wick comes through.

This is a true scent bottle! You open the top for the perfume to slowly permeate the room and simply cover the wick with the metal top if you've had enough scent! The bottom has a hand-etched crystal stem on a crystal pedestal base, covered with a band of ornate silver metal. Gosh, the fine details all over this bottle are amazing! The bottom of this silver band is stamped but I can't read it.

The metal is probably silver plated. I didn't polish it as some people like that old tarnished look.

This bottle and the glass pedestal are in excellent condition. It has no chips or cracks and all hardware is complete! ID=ot1

Three Chelsea porcelain scent bottles

Chelsea factory, London, England, 1750s

The Chelsea porcelain factory opened in the mid-1740s. It was run by Nicholas Sprimont (about 1716-71), a Flemish Huguenot who had originally worked as a silversmith. Sprimont employed a number of talented modellers and decorators to produce work of a superb standard.

The factory produced decorative pieces for the luxury market, often copying designs from factories at Meissen in Germany or from Vincennes and Sèvres in France. These included miniature items, called 'toys' at the time, such as these scent-bottles, as well as seals, thimble cases, snuff boxes and other expensive trifles. Many have amorous or flirtatious inscriptions on them and were often bought as gifts.

The scent bottles are made of soft-paste porcelain, painted in overglaze colours and gilt, with gold mounts. One is decorated with playful commedia dell'arte figures: the Doctor, Clown and Harlequin, who hides in a kennel. The upper part of the bottle takes the form of a dovecote and a dove acts as the stopper. The base is inscribed 'stratageme d'amour' (subterfuge of love). The second bottle shows two doves touching bills and is inscribed 'imite nous' (imitate us). The third has two cupids lighting a stove and is inscribed 'mon feu durera toujours' (my fire will last forever).
