Exceptional 19th C. Enamel, Sterling silver and crystal Vanity Set.

Set of three fragrance / powder / oil bottles in faceted crystal, with the most remarkable enamel on sterling tops...in a red guilloche enamel pattern with bright white and gold detailing,

And, the round vessel has a sterling body, with a tight and smooth enamel top.

INCREDIBLE DETAILING!

And the red enamel finish and tones are just gorgeous.

Notice the vermeil (gold on sterling) wash on the inside trims, and the proper silver hallmark on the rim. Wow - truly a set from a bygone era of elegance.

Each vessel is a different proportion:

Crystal Cylinder - 7" tall and 1.5" diameter
Sterling Column - 3.75" tall by 2.25" diameter
Crystal Rectangle - 3" wide by 1.75" deep by 3.75" tall

Matching set of three.

Likely English - British Market - though they could have easily been retailed anywhere in continental Europe or the finest stores in the United States.

In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...

This is the finest set of dressing / cosmetic accessories we have EVER discovered. Simply beautiful, and in exceptional condition.

These three match a second set of four fragrance bottles in a separate Chairish listing.

The red enamel tops are so stunning you could stare at them all day, and they are ready for a place of prominence in a fabulous collection. See less
