Lava stone scent bottle, shaped as a pineapple. Matching cap with short chain. In the 18th century this fruit was a satus symbol for noble and rich people.
The ancient eruptions of Vesuvius have created Vesuvian lava stone, a sturdier material than marble: the processing of the lava activity, in fact, has spread in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries around the Vesuvius area, in the heart of the architectural styles of Baroque and Rococo.
