Does anybody know who might have made this perfume bottle? very fine quality, yet completely unmarked. it is gilt sterling silver with a large garnet cabochon set in the top. The putti are classical, the handles sort of resemble japanesque tendrils, and the bottom has a Turkish feel. The other side is a continuation of the scene on the front, not simply the same scene stamped again and repeated. IP: Logged |

It looks like Tiffany. It probably had a chain and finger ring at one time. Dimensions? IP: Logged |

I thought it looked like Tiffany as well, but was surprised not to find a mark. The chain and finger ring are absent. About 3" long. [This message has been edited by Paul Lemieux (edited 03-31-2010).] IP: Logged |

Richard, just went over it again with a loupe and found the tip third of "TIFFANY & CO." very worn along the top edge of the opening. IP: Logged |

What do you think for a date? Late 1870s? There are no other marks remaining, the TIFFANY & CO is a stamped serif typeface. IP: Logged |

Paul, If I had to guess I would say more 1880s. Show the other side. IP: Logged |

Paul, After looking at this again it could very well be 1870s. Tiffany was retailing some flatware by William Bogert with similar cherub designs in the 1860s and I have seen handles like this on early 1870s pieces. So....
