Victorian Mercury Glass Perfume Bottle

(1/3) > >>

Connie:
Am I correct that this is Victorian era?  It is not really what I consider mercury glass because the metallic coating is not sandwiched bewtween 2 layers of glass.  It appears to be flashed on the inside??  What kind of flowers are these?  Some type of trumpet flower of the nightshade? family.  They are a nice thick enamel.  The top of the bottle has cut oval windows.

Anne:
Connie the flowers look a little like foxgloves... they could be nightshade though.

Connie:
Anne - thank you.  They are foxgloves.  I knew  they were one of the  poisonous plants  :lol:

Frank:
Is there any marking on the metal?

Possibly letters B R or a logo with a winged head.

Connie:
Frank -

There are no marks at all.  I even looked again at the whole metal fitting with a loupe  :cry:

What is BR with a winged head mark?
