A Girl-in-a-Swing scent bottle, modelled in the form of an exotic bird perched on a tree-stump. Its long neck and head are forming a stopper. Its plumage is picked out in brightly coloured enamels, all supported on a circular mound base painted with flower sprigs and a bunch of cherries. The concave base also has a spray of flowers, and it has gold mounts.
