GLASS SALT BOTTLE ENHANCED WITH GOLD SILVER CAP XVIIITH M1286This salt bottle is made of glass enhanced with gold leaf flowers. It is hallmarked silver on the top. (punch to be identified, perhaps wolf's head?). It does not have its original cap. It is in superb condition, we report minimal scratches for the most picky. These little vials were used to wake up ladies prone to fainting from tight corsets. The ladies kept it in their pocket or purse, but more often as a pendant around their necks suspended with charms so as not to be caught off guard when these horrible vapors occurred. They were made to breathe these salts and the corseted ladies who were subject to many discomforts came to their senses. The salt bottle was a pretext to exhibit a beautiful object that would be placed on a piece of furniture in the bedroom or boudoir after use. Our many photos allow you to appreciate the quality of the charming object. For the state thank you for detailing the photos. Feel free to zoom. The photos are an integral part of the description.
