Victorian, C18
This striking blue glass scent bottle features a hinged silver lid that opens to reveal a glass stopper. Accented with a simple floral silver frame and equipped with a chain for pendant wear, it combines practical functionality with classic elegance.
Scent bottles, used since ancient Egypt for holding perfumes and oils, have evolved over millennia. In ancient Rome, glassblowing techniques produced intricate bottles, while the Renaissance saw perfume bottles as symbols of status. The Victorian era popularized vinaigrettes, small scented containers often worn as pendants. This blue glass scent bottle reflects the design aesthetics of the late 19th to early 20th century, blending historical charm with timeless beauty.
