Lot #2: Sterling Silver Crystal Bottles

This pair of silver-topped crystal vanity accessories includes a square, slightly curved perfume or cologne bottle with a thick, heavy clear glass body and a wide, threaded metal collar for the stopper and a cylindrical shaker or powder jar with a polished, highly reflective silver cap and a glass body that appears slightly frosted. Visible hallmarks indicating these pieces were luxury items intended for a dressing table or vanity set. The contrast between the clear, weighty glass of the square bottle and the functional form of the shaker represents a combination of utility and elegant design common in 20th-century vanity items.
