Silver Overlay Glass Perfume Bottle

Title: Antique Art Nouveau Silver Overlay Perfume Bottle 8-Lobed Hand-Blown Glass c. 1895 Description: Up for sale is a stunning, genuine antique Art Nouveau glass perfume/cologne bottle featuring an exquisite sterling silver overlay, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century (circa 1895–1910). Design & Craftsmanship: The bottle features a beautiful 8-lobed, fluted glass body entirely encased in a flowing, intricate Art Nouveau silver filigree scrollwork overlay. The central silver cartouche features a beautifully executed, hand-engraved period interlocking monogram reading "SMS". The base of the bottle shows a clean, professionally ground and polished pontil mark, confirming it is a piece of high-quality, hand-blown art glass from a premium maker of the era (such as Alvin or Steuben blanks). Stopper: Comes complete with its beautiful, matching, period-correct silver-capped or faceted glass stopper that fits snugly into the collar. Condition: The bottle is in very good antique condition. The silver overlay is intact, securely attached to the glass, and shows beautiful patina with no major lifting or broken scrollwork. The glass body is structurally sound with no cracks. The interior shows some light, authentic age-related residue/cloudiness inside the lobes as expected with a vanity item of this age, which may improve with a specialized cleaning. Shipping & Handling: Will be meticulously double-boxed and padded to ensure safe delivery.
