About this item
Silver mounted Thomas Webb pale opaque old ivory glass scent bottle of tear drop shape, having raised prunus decoration, hallmarked hinged silver embossed lid, Birmingham hallmarks, CS (which we believe represents Cornelius Shepherd) and dated 1888. The bottle is made of uranium glass and is missing its glass stopper.
During the Victoria era, there was a huge craze for Japanese items, known as Japonisme, sparked by Japan's re-opening in the 1850s, which flooded Europe with exotic goods like lacquerware, porcelain, and ukiyo-e prints and which influenced companies like to Thomas Webb to produce products that emulated carved ivory.
