Antique Cut Glass Perfume Bottle with Faceted Stopper | Late Victorian to Early 20th Century (c. 1890–1930)

Description

Add a touch of timeless elegance to your collection with this beautiful antique cut glass perfume bottle, dating from the late Victorian to early 20th century (circa 1890–1930). Expertly crafted from quality clear glass, this exquisite piece showcases the exceptional artistry and precision that made finely cut crystal dressing table accessories highly desirable during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

The bottle features a classic faceted mushroom-shaped stopper, individually ground to fit the neck, demonstrating the quality craftsmanship of the period. This bespoke fit ensured an airtight seal, helping to preserve the precious perfumes and scented oils it once contained.

The body is richly decorated with deep geometric cut patterns, including striking cross-hatched and prism-cut facets that beautifully capture and reflect the light from every angle. Adding further refinement are the delicately engraved fern or wheat-like motifs adorning the rounded shoulders—a popular decorative element around the turn of the twentieth century that reflects the era’s appreciation of natural forms and botanical designs.

Its elegant square base with gently rounded shoulders is a classic silhouette commonly found on high-quality Victorian and Edwardian dressing table perfume bottles, making it an attractive display piece whether placed on a vanity, in a cabinet, or as part of a larger antique glass collection.
