The cutest little scent bottle from the Georgian period. Painted to look like a book with a slightly domed spine and a concave side to mimic pages. To the front and back is a painted coil design in pale yellow and black with excellent shading for detail. The book is outlined in gold paint. The top is 9ct gold cased and screws onto the scent bottle, holding in place. A rare find!
The chain pictured is for display only. This piece should be worn with care.
Details:
Materials - 9ct Gold Cased, Porcelain
Age - Georgian
Size - The book part of the bottle measures approx 19mm by 15mm. The whole bottle including the bail measures approx 35mm tall.
Condition - Very good. Some wear to the paintwork in places, commensurate with age. The screw top stays firmly in place, though a piece of paper is inside to ensure this is the case. Without the paper, the lid is loose.
Weight - 3.9g
