WELCOME TO SASCHA'S VINTAGE SHACK
************************
A Victorian Lachrymatory Scent VialCirca 1800’s.Gilt decoration upon the glass.The top has broken off leaving the stopper within the opening of the vial - a common occurrence in these items.This vial is in very nice condition apart from this. There is very little wear to the gilt decoration and there are no cracks or chips.A wonderful Victorian ‘myth’ that these vials were used as te...ar catchers for mourning. They were in fact used to sample scents.I currently have other antique scent bottles listed as I am selling a collection accumulated through the 1940’s - 60’s... a beautiful story in itself!Please read my feedback for confidence in buying.Approx. Measurements: Length 12.5 cms***************************************
