For a long period I have this little bottle, found it with a primitive detector.
It has a silver/ed? shell, there is a lying lion, resting with one leg on a shield. (little monograms stands inside).(?).
There is also lies a palm-branch in front of the lion.

The shell is not in a very good condition.

My question is can somebody tell me in with period this one could be made?
At one side of the bottle stands a figure which I can't describe or recognize.

Also I'm asking if this one could be imported from France in these days, because the name of it l'eau de la reine, means smelling water from the queen and was made from rose-leaves.

Can it be dated in the 19th or perhaps 18th century, who will give it a try?
