A striking faceted cranberry glass scent bottle of geometric form, beautifully executed with broad hand-applied gilt decoration accentuating each angular facet. The substantial body is cut with multiple polished facets that enhance the rich ruby-cranberry coloration while creating exceptional light refraction throughout the piece. The bottle is fitted with a brass-mounted stopper featuring a finely turned and knurled knop, complementing the bold Art Deco-inspired geometry of the vessel. The combination of vibrant cranberry glass, lustrous gilt ornament, and precision-cut faceting creates an elegant decorative object that is equally suitable for display in a collection of fine art glass or antique vanity accessories. The bottle retains its original visual appeal with an attractive patina to the brass mount and age-appropriate wear to the gilt decoration, contributing to its vintage character. A handsome example of decorative art glass, displaying strong sculptural presence despite its compact scale.

  • Literature: Unmarked example. Comparable faceted gilt-decorated scent bottles were produced by several European glasshouses during the mid-20th century, particularly in Bohemia and Italy.
  • Circa: Mid-20th century.
  • Condition: Overall good vintage condition. The glass body appears free of cracks and repairs. Minor surface scratches and light wear consistent with age and use. Expected rubbing and losses to the gilt decoration. Brass-mounted stopper exhibits oxidation, surface wear, and patina commensurate with age. Interior not examined for residue.
