Elegant antique bottle made of cut blue crystal, with a slender and refined silhouette.
The cut is clean and regular, allowing light to play in the colored crystal, with a beautiful transparency characteristic of quality productions from the late 19th century.
The bottle is topped with its original chased vermeil stopper (gilded silver), richly decorated with floral and foliage motifs. The chasing is fine and still clearly visible, with partial gilding patinated by time, testifying to its authenticity.
The stopper is now stuck and no longer opens, a common situation with antique bottles. The object is therefore offered as is, primarily as a collector's item or for display.
Due to its fine and light format, this bottle was probably intended for a dressing or travel kit, to contain concentrated perfume, essence, or toilet vinegar.
A refined and precious object, with intact charm, ideal for a collection of antique bottles or elegant decoration.
