Additional Description: A beautiful antique cut crystal perfume or cologne bottle featuring delicately engraved floral decoration and elegant sterling silver guilloché enamel mounted stoppers.
Each bottle is formed from clear cut crystal with a gracefully tapered body raised on a circular foot. The crystal is decorated with finely engraved floral sprays and foliage, executed in a light, flowing style typical of late Victorian and Edwardian decorative crystal.
The bases display a sharply cut radiating starburst pattern, a hallmark of quality cut crystal work, designed to catch and refract light beautifully when displayed on a dressing table.
The stoppers are fitted with sterling silver mounts, clearly stamped “Sterling”, and topped with striking turquoise guilloché enamel panels. The enamel shows a delicate engine-turned pattern beneath translucent blue enamel and is decorated with hand-painted pink roses and green leaves.
The stoppers retain their original ground crystal plungers, ensuring a tight fit within the bottle necks. Bottles of this type were typically used to hold perfume, cologne, or scented oils and were part of elegant dressing table or vanity sets.
The combination of cut crystal, sterling silver, and decorative enamel reflects the refined craftsmanship associated with late Victorian and Edwardian vanity accessories.
Era: Late 19th to Early 20th Century
Circa 1890–1915
History: During the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, elaborate dressing table sets became an essential part of a well-appointed boudoir. These sets often included perfume bottles, cologne bottles, powder jars, brushes, and mirrors.
Guilloché enamel decoration became particularly fashionable in luxury personal accessories during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The technique involved engraving intricate geometric patterns into metal using a mechanical lathe before applying translucent enamel over the surface, creating a shimmering decorative effect.
Cut crystal bottles paired with sterling silver and enamel mounts were popular luxury items and were produced by both European and American silversmiths during this period.
