Featured Small art glass bottle w/ opalescent drapery? pattern & sterling? band.

I decided to post this in this category in hopes that I can get the silver & the glass folks to look at this bottle.

I tried looking around but found nothing like this one. Possibly a barber bottle or perfume bottle?

I think it had a stopper of some sorts at one time that attached to a chain which was attached to the ring on the band. The band is marked as is the collar. I have shown the band, but the collar was impossible to capture. It is marked with the lion mark only.

The feel of the glass is incredibly smooth & it has some weight to it so every time I pick it up I feel like it is going to slide right out of my hand.

It is 6 1/8" tall to the top & is 3 3/4" acoss the bottom portion.



Thanks for any & all advice or opinions!!!

 

I can just make out the anchor for Birmingham and the lion for sterling. That n seems to be for 1887 (and before anyone objects to that date for lack of the duty mark, the Maker's Marks site shows it without as an actual mark.)

The maker's mark is here. http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/Birmingham-CM-CZ.html#CS

 

Just for the sake of documentation, here's a link to the Maker's Mark site showing the 1887 marks for Birmingham. http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/Birmingham/Date Letters N.html

 

Susan - thank you so much!!!

I thought it was an English mark, but the anchor turned sideways kind of threw me off.

So this piece is from c.1887 for sure?

 

I believe so, Peggy. That particular shape for the n is pretty distinctive and looks nothing like the ones that were used more recently.

 

Now all I need is for someone to ID the glass pattern.

However, I feel fairly certain that I will do okay with my $14.00 investment.

Thank you again!!!

 

It's beautiful! A local auction find?

 

What a beautiful bottle!

 

That one is 1887 too! Too bad there's no picture of the marks.

 

No, but CS FS could easily be Cornelius Saunders/Frank Shepherd.

 

Yes, it is, as in the link posted above.

I'm just endorsing. Wouldn't have had a clue without the Tennant's link.

 

Gotta love those 1st Dibs asking prices - whoa momma.

 

Wow, great find, Bronwen! Too bad Peggy's is missing the topper.
