Wallace & Sons crystal perfume or cologne bottle featuring a rounded, vertically fluted body and a substantial sterling silver-mounted stopper/top.The sterling top is engraved with an elegant \"F\" monogram, giving the piece a particularly handsome period character. The bottle has a slightly gray or smoky appearance under certain lighting, along with the weight and brilliance associated with quality crystal glass.The body features graceful rounded vertical fluting and a decorative starburst-style detail at the base. I am describing the material as crystal glass; lead content has not been independently tested, so I am not representing it as confirmed lead crystal.The silver retains its natural antique patina and has not been aggressively polished. This is an attractive early vanity or dresser piece and would display beautifully in a collection of antique perfume bottles, sterling-mounted glass, vanity accessories or American silver.Details- R.
