Featured Green Jadeite Scent Bottle + Silver

Well, at least I "know" it now haha

Anyone who might read this.
Where could I find a stopper for this bottle.

 

Just to share, because I was excited ...
I have just 10 minutes ago bought myself another opaline glass tea box.

93% sure that this one is Dutch too.
(Still have to receive it)

From the pictures I see a dutch sword.
Can't detect any makers hallmark.

 

Very nice R, we'll be looking forward to more pictures when it arrives.

 

The more I see of these pieces, the more I love them. Great design of glass and silver pieces.
Makes me want to start a new collection.... LOL.

 

If I only had the money...

 

UpdatE:

Back to the bottle.
I'm affraid it is a Dutch sword.

Which would make this complicated.

The top of the cap is dutch.
The silver piece under it is either plated or .800 silver.

Meaning that the 2 pieces of this cap don't belong to eachother.

But which one (or none) would belong to the bottle?

 

Looking at the jagged edged bottom rim, my guess is neither. It looks like a double marriage. But a pretty one.

 

I'm affraid too.

But I'd like to sell it.
Don't really know what to put in the description.

Uranium Opaline Glass (France/Bohemian)

Silver-cap compiled : Upper piece Dutch, marked with old Dutch sword.
Lower piece either Belgian .800 silver, or silverplated.

Plus, should I stick to the ca. 1830-1850?

 

I can only help with the silver, I'd call it a composite piece of possibly different silver grades, the cap marked with old Dutch sword mark.

Do you have a silver test kit? You could test the grade of the rim. But never put the testing liquid directly on the silver.
Here is a thread on jewellery testing, it also mentions and shows silver and gold test kits:

No I haven't. Because I don't know much about jewelry.
And mainly but glass for now.

But it's a nice link.
Maybe I should expand my knowledge, and learn on jewlry etc.

 

Judging from the many people we have to disappoint on the jewellery forum, jewellery is a very tricky subject.
But I was thinking of the silver mounts on the glass you buy. Usually marked, but then there is a case like this one, where testing of the rim would give clarity.

 

Yes it would. And if I come across this more often I think it would be a good investment.

 

@R.antonis, I am usually not a fan of green at ALL, BUT THAT is SIMPLY ONE GORGEOUS COLORED GREEN SCENT BOTTLE!!!!!!!!!!!! ME LIKEY MUCH!!!!!

 

Yes, it's a very pretty bottle .. that green glass is very pleasing to the eye, . Joy.

 

Then you should definately see this one.
Unfortunately I had to get rid of it. And I regret it somuch !

 

MMMmmm .. yes indeed !!! Verrry Nice - Joy.

 

That IS pretty.
Sometimes it breaks your heart to sell something, but there is no sensible reason not to. The old head-heart thing. If I'd listen to my heart everytime, there would be no room to move here, and no item would get the attention it deserves.

I like the instructions on the blue cardboard box.
