A refined English vanity scent or perfume bottle by the celebrated Sheffield manufacturer James Dixon & Sons Ltd, dating to 1923. Combining a beautifully cut crystal glass body with sterling silver fittings, the piece is an elegant example of early 20th-century British dressing-table accessories. The listing confirms the maker, 1923 Sheffield date, sterling silver composition and cut-glass construction. The bottle is fashioned from substantial cut crystal, its geometric facets designed to catch and refract the light while giving the vessel a jewel-like appearance. The clarity and brilliance of the glass contrast elegantly with the polished silver mount, producing the sophisticated combination of materials characteristic of luxury vanity accessories of the period. The sterling silver top provides a refined finishing element while demonstrating the quality of James Dixon & Sons' metalwork. Compact scent bottles of this type were designed for dressing tables and vanity cases, combining practical perfume storage with the decorative craftsmanship expected of fine personal accessories. James Dixon & Sons was one of Sheffield's important manufacturers of silver and luxury metalware. The identifiable maker and precise 1923 date add collecting interest to this example, which the seller classifies as an antique British scent bottle with sterling silver components. A sophisticated decorative object combining English silver craftsmanship with finely cut crystal, ideal for a dressing table, vanity collection or display alongside other early 20th-century objets de vertu.
