Silver Frame Crystal Perfume Bottle

Very beautiful spherical perfume bottle in cut crystal. The alternation of oblique bands, either smooth without pattern but rounded, or decorated with eight-pointed stars inserted in a rectangle, gives it a beautiful elegance. Obviously this decoration thus placed, in addition to the aesthetic research is intended to facilitate the handling in order to prevent this pretty ball from slipping from the fingers. The base and top of the sphere are also perfectly smooth. The very slightly depressed underside is decorated with a fine 23-pointed star. The crystal stopper is finely faceted. The silver frame closing the whole takes the shape of a ball, but more flattened. We find the alternation of smooth and chiseled obliques as on the bottle. The incredibly sharp hallmarks tell us the whole story of this superb piece. This is an English creation. We find the lion which is the mark of 925/1000 silver, the marine anchor, mark of the Birmingham assay office, the letter E which corresponds to the year 1929 and the initials MJJ of the master goldsmith Matthew John JESSOP (1875 - 1948). This superb bottle which has retained the delicate fragrance of a sweet feminine perfume will undoubtedly adorn your window or your elegant dressing table.
