Antique Victorian Bristol Bohemia Grey Opaline Glass Enamel Floral Scent Bottle

  

Antique Victorian Bristol Bohemia Grey Opaline Glass Enamel Floral Scent Bottle. This beautiful hand enamelled scent bottle is a lovely example of Bristol Opaline Glass or Victorian Opaque Glass. Created in the late 19th century, these striking pieces were hand painted with enameled paint, often with sand added to the mix for texture and vibrance.

The style was a popular one of the era and often inspired by French and Chinese porcelain. Though dubbed Bristol Glass, Continental pieces that came through the port of Bristol at the time were labelled together, Thus nowadays it is more the name of a style rather than a place of creation. This particular piece is most probably from Bohemia possibly Moser or Harrach as it is numbered 11 to the stopper. Created in a fabulous grey opaline that shines orange in the sunlight, it is a wonderful scent bottle.

This along with its footed bottle shape, ornate stopper and hand enamelled florals it makes for an elegant piece and the perfect addition to any collection or display. 18cm tall with stopper and 13cm without.
