England, 17th century A.D. Of facetted deep blue glass, enclosed within an elegant silver filigree cage mount retaining traces of its original gilding; the domed screw-cap similarly decorated with scrolling filigree ornament and fitted with a suspension loop, indicating that it was intended to be worn on a chain or ribbon, with an original clear glass stopper. 4.62 grams, 28 mm (1 1/8 in.). Acquired on the European art market. Delicate in scale yet refined in execution, the bottle is a characteristic example of late 17th-century English personal luxury wares.
