Uranium glass scent bottle in silver case
The front and back of this round scent bottle holder has the exact same pictorial to both sides. This is the ubiquitous art nouveau image of a lady’s profile with hair swept back and a poppy as a hair grip, based on a French postage stamp of that time. The sides of the scent bottle have embossed foliate patterning.
The silver scent holder is hinged on the left, and by unclipping the flip top the scent bottle opens to reveal an uranium glass scent bottle inside; no visible marks for overpolish but inside the flip top lid there are the passing lion and the letter n for Birmingham, 1912. An identical one (sold on ebay.uk) has the full hallmarks for Chester 1904 and maker’s mark ‘H.C*W.N.’
