Antique French Saint Louis Acid Etched Glass Perfume Bottle Gold Gilt Empire

  

Antique French Saint Louis acid etched glass perfume bottle. In the pattern Nelly, this Empire style pattern is listed in the Saint Louis 1908 catalogs. Decorated with neoclassical palmettes an intricate textured surface, embellished with gold gilt accents.

Topped with a faceted cut stopper. The stopper is engraved at the base with numbers corresponding to matching numbers found on the base of the bottle, indicating the stopper is original. Like Baccarat, the Saint Louis cristallerie marked their early wares with a paper label, which was often lost, washed away or worn with time. The cristallerie did not use their acid-etched signature mark until 1936. In overall good antique condition with general wear commensurate with use and age. Stands 7 5/8" tall x 2 1/4" diameter at the base. Other pieces in this pattern can be found in my shop listed separately.
