ca 1902 Hallmarked Sterling Silver and Pressed Glass Perfume Bottle

Smooth sterling silver covers the entirety of the collar and features a number of maker’s mark. The first is a hallmark reading “JHW” belonging to early later 19th century silversmith John Hazelwood Warren.

Warren was renowned for his silver works used in tandem with cut and pressed glass. The next mark is the “lion passant”, a typical mark indicating an item’s British manufacture. Adjacent to that is a leopard’s head (the symbol of the London Assay Office).

Finally, the date mark depicts a small “g”; this assures us that the piece was manufactured in 1902. The stopper matches the bottle perfectly, featuring a number of elegant triangular facets.

As you can see, the sterling areas exhibit a number of significant dents towards the top, but remains relatively unscratched. The bottle in its entirety shows some wear and minor surface scratching, but remains in good antique condition overall.

For being almost 110 years old, we think that’s pretty impressive!
