Antique Perfume Scent Vinaigrette Bottle White Opaline & Gilt with Silver Gilt Lid Circa 1880

Antique vinaigrette scent bottle dating circa 1880 and measuring 3.7 cm in height and approx. 3.5 cm in width. This antique vinaigrette scent bottle is made of lovely white opaline glass otherwise known as milk glass decorated with gilt scrollwork design. The bottle has a rounded form and is fitted with an unmarked but tested silver gilt hinged lid which has attractive repoussé decoration. The lid lifts up to reveal a pretty pierced silver gilt grille with rambling rose design on the inside. The lid unscrews correctly at the neck to replenish the bottle. The glass body has no chips, cracks or fractures and there is no wear to the painted gilt decoration. The neck is also undamaged and the lid fits firmly and securely and has good retained gold wash finish. There is a slight depression to one side consistent with pressing the lid to open and closed over the years.
