Description
An antique or vintage glass perfume bottle with French style ormolu overlay decoration of flower baskets, floral swags and bows. This bottle is made of molded glass with it's original stopper that fits snugly without rocking and has the dauber intact.The stopper has a flat top which is original but not perfectly level. There's a very tiny flake/chip on the flat top of the stopper,
pictured
in the last photo.
The little bows on the side corners do not have their trailing ribbon ends which I believe is how they were made originally, please see photos 6 & 7. One bow on the corner has a small
extra
tab of bronze behind the bow and a thin area on the ribbon (see picture 7), also believed to be original casting. There is some old polish residue and/or very light verdigris in crevices. The gilding is worn. The ormolu has a aged darkened patina and very little to no gilding remains. The interior of the bottle may have a few tiny gray specks or very slight residue but is really quite clear and clean overall.
Approximately 4 1/2" tall with stopper in place.
Otherwise very good vintage/antique condition.
No markings for maker or origin.
Please pay within 2 days of the end of the listing.
A handling fee is included in the shipping to partially cover the cost of packing and insurance. I pay the balance of packing and insurance costs.
