Scent Bottle
Tiffany & Companyearly 1900s
The Frick Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, United States
The small size of Gilded Age evening bags did not allow for carrying large accessories for a night out. This lovely scent bottle by Tiffany & Co. was the perfect size for slipping into a bag or pocket. Made of carved amethyst stone and featuring cabochon (rounded) cut amethysts and silver, this bottle was a stylish and luxurious way for Mrs. Frick to carry perfume to enhance her own person or environment.
