Description:

  • Form: The bottle is designed as a miniature amphora, a shape synonymous with ancient Greece.
  • Artistry: It features hand-painted classical scenes depicting figures like Venus framed by intricate floral patterns and Greek key motifs.
  • Accents: This piece is heavily embellished with gold-plated components, including ornate scrollwork handles and a tiered, finial-style cap.
  • Perfume Application: Unlike modern sprayers, the cap unscrews to reveal a small applicator rod used to apply scent directly to the skin.
  • Purpose: While originally sold containing fragrances these are now primarily sought after as collectible decor or trinkets.
  • Durability: The ceramic body provides a light-tight environment, which helps preserve the potency of the perfume oils within.

Condition:

Good condition. Signs of wear consistent with age. Perfume scent remains. Empty bottle for display.
