Elegance in Sapphire Blue and Gold ~ 19th Century Antique Perfume Bottle

💙 The Elegance of Sapphire Blue and Gold | 19th Century Antique Perfume Bottle 💛 This perfume bottle truly captivated me at first sight. It's not large, but it's brimming with detail, originating from Europe in the late 19th or early 20th century. It's a small scent bottle favored by aristocratic ladies of that era, possessing a remarkable character. 🔍 Bottle Design Highlights • Deep sapphire blue glass body, adorned with hand-painted gold enamel floral motifs and ribbons, typical of the Victorian style 🎀🌿 • Both the upper and lower metal rims, as well as the base, feature decorative metalwork, likely gilded copper, with intricate carvings ✨ • The lid boasts an embossed floral pattern, with the initials "CT" engraved in a copperplate script 👑 • The stopper is a complete crystal ball, and its excellent seal is a rare find for an original piece! 🧴 Uses and Features • Originally used for small amounts of perfume or essential oils, carrying it in a handbag added a touch of ritual to outings. • Collecting it today is not just about potential use, but more about preserving a piece of life's elegance. • Compact yet exquisite, it's perfect for display on a vanity, in a glass cabinet, or as a prop for photos. It's also perfectly suitable for personal use with your favorite fragrance! 🖼 Collector's Perspective • Late European antique perfume bottles have a stable collector base in the market, especially pieces with intact lids, stoppers, and complete designs. • The combination of colors and patterns is very pleasing, offering a rare dual value of "elegance and usability" for an antique. *The items in this shop are primarily European antiques, vintage pieces, and old objects. Having been touched by time, some antiques may inevitably bear minor historical marks, dark spots, or small chips. They may not be as pristine as brand-new items, but these imperfections do not detract from their vintage beauty. We kindly ask that perfectionists and those accustomed to buying new products consider this carefully before purchasing. We look forward to you becoming someone who, like us, cherishes these beautiful antique objects.^^ Please feel free to send us a message if you have any questions!
