Enamel Portrait Scent Bottle
A charming 19th-century glass scent bottle, hand-painted with delicate enamel decoration. The front features a finely detailed portrait of a classical allegorical female figure wearing a mural crown and laurel wreath—symbols of civic strength and fortitude. A refined example of a popular motif in 19th-century decorative arts.
Its petite form and vivid detailing reflect the artistry of personal luxury items in the Georgian and Victorian eras. Originally designed to hold perfume or scented oils, bottles like this were treasured keepsakes.
Perfect styled atop a vanity tray, displayed in a cabinet of curiosities, or grouped with other small collectibles for an elegant vignette.
Origin: Likely Continental Europe, 19th century.
Material: Porcelain with enamel painting.
Dimensions: 4.5" x 2"
