FROSTED AND ETCHED FIGURAL GLASS PERFUME BOTTLE, LONDON, 1902
Sterling Silver and Crystal;
This elegant Edwardian liqueur decanter features a tapered glass body expertly decorated with frosted floral sprays and delicate neo-classical swags. The vessel is surmounted by a finely cast sterling silver mount and stopper, bearing the 1902 London import marks for the renowned distributor Berthold Müller. The stopper is distinguished by a charming silver finial depicting a seated putto or cherub holding a cup, a signature motif of the Hanau silver tradition that Müller specialized in bringing to the British market. Likely originating as part of a larger tantalus or dessert set, this piece exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and continental influence prevalent in high-end English table service at the turn of the century.
