French Nude Enamel, Silver & Wheel Cut Glass Travel Bottle

Collectibles : Scent, Perfume Or Cologne Bottles

 

Beautiful sapphire blue w/white rims on this perfume-lotion travel bottle. The top has a scene w/ 2 nude ladies stamped into silver w/ translucent enamel over it. The sides of the lid have the engine turned pattern under enamel. There is no restoration to enamel. There is 1 minuscule, way way to small to measure, nick to top that looks like a speck of dust (see that white like spot at below their feet). Remember this is in a 7/8" circle!!! When viewed w/a 10 power loop you see it is a nick. The sides of the bottle have a lovely wheel cut pattern of 4 swags of roses with 1 bow on each large side. The lower parts of sides have ribs made up of 3 lines w/ curved indentations between. Lovely work! The glass is clean w/ an occasional speck of light cloudiness in rib area. Glass has no cracks or chips-just the occasional 1/32" flea bite from a ring. One of the 4 shoulders has had a chip professionally removed (see last picture). The lid screws on & threads are fine. The excellent condition internal stopper is correct & is probably original. The silver bottle rim has marks of: #1 Minerva (for 950 silver), A-Pelican bird-D in a diamond (Makers mark). The interior top of lid has a Minerva w/an additional bottom portion to the mark. Sorry I don't have a French marks book to read mark. Size: approx 4" tall x 2 5/8" wide x 1" wide. Circa 1925.
