The sweetest little Victorian sterling silver and crystal scent bottle pendant in the form of a cornucopia or hunting horn.
Madly collectible in this novelty form the clear glass is deeply cut in a beautiful ellipse pattern and the hinged silver lid is prettily embossed in a floral design with gold gilding on the inside. It remains useable with a cork stopper in the top and the original silver chain is attached along with a finger sized silver ring so it can be worn hung on a wide variety of necklace chains.
The bottle is in excellent condition, due to the fragile nature of antique glass perfume bottle pieces like this are often damaged, but this one is in near perfect condition with only slight surface wear noticed under magnification. The hinge is sturdy and in good order and the silver top closes with a lovely satisfying click. It isn't hallmarked and we have acid tested and verified that all the fittings are 925 sterling silver.
This sweet little trifle might have been worn dangling enticingly from a Victorian lady's little finger, attached to her chatelaine, or worn as a fabulously decorative pendant on her long guard chain, it remains as uniquely wearable today!
