Description

Width: 12cm

A refined Victorian double-ended scent and snuff bottle, crafted from richly coloured faceted green glass and finished with contrasting metal mounts.

The elongated body is cut with multiple facets, allowing the deep green tone to catch and reflect light beautifully, while each end is fitted with its own screw cap, forming a practical dual-purpose design.

One compartment is traditionally used for scent, fitted with an internal stopper, while the opposing end serves as a snuff chamber.

This ingenious configuration reflects the Victorian fascination with portable personal accessories that combined elegance with utility.

The metal mounts, showing a soft aged patina, complement the glass body and enhance the piece’s period character.

Both tactile and visually striking, this is a fine example of 19th century personal accoutrement, equally suited to collectors of antique vanity items or display within a cabinet of curiosities.
