GILDED CRYSTAL, ENAMEL AND STERLING - ENGLISH SCENT / PERFUME BOTTLE, c.1830
This perfume / scent bottle was made by Matthew Linwood of Birmingham, England.* The bottle is crystal with an etched and gilded feathery design around the top edge. The mounting is sterling silver with a hinged cap. The back of the mounting collar is impressed with the maker's marks. The top of the cap is embossed and enameled with a red flower and 2 green leaves. The interior of the cap is gold-washed and has a number "8" impressed in the center. The mounting rim has a number "8" impressed on the surface. There is an inner glass stopper which is original to the bottle and very often missing on bottles this old. No markings on the bottom of the bottle. This is a very pretty bottle and worthy of a first-class collection.
*I am not an expert at deciphering English silver hallmarks. If this bottle is not correctly identified, please do contact me (perf37@gmail.com) with the correct information. I would appreciate it - and so would the buyer!
Size: 3" h. x 15/16" w.
Condition: Bottle excellent - no chips or cracks; no dents on cap; inner stopper has 3 large chips on head and sliver chip on side of stopper neck. Sliver chips on 2 flower petals and 1 on lower edge of right leaf - these are difficult to see, not glaring or distracting and do not detract from the beauty of the bottle.

This Czechoslovakian vintage perfume bottle with beautiful clear, cut crystal base and matching fan, cut crystal stopper has a pattern of facets and stars. It is not acid etched, "Made in Czechoslovakia", which was required on bottles destined for export. However, I can personally vouch for its authenticity as I purchased it domestically, at an antique shop while on vacation in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1995, before the Czech Republic started reissuing bottles). This brilliant hand cut vintage bottle will add sparkle and shine to your Czechoslovakian perfume bottle collection.
