Elegant antique bottle made of cut crystal, teardrop shaped, enhanced with a finely chased vermeil mounting, hallmarked twice with the boar's head (on the neck and stopper), indicating a silver purity of at least 800/1000.
The transparency of the crystal highlights the softness of the lines and the quality of the cut. The richly decorated vermeil stopper completes the piece with refinement. The gilding shows a beautiful patina, and the stopper has a very slight dent, discreet and consistent with the age of the object.
No chips or nicks are to be reported on the crystal, which is remarkable for an antique bottle of this size.
