SAMPSON MORDAN & CO., A VICTORIAN SILVER-GILT MOUNTED GLASS SCENT BOTTLE/VINAIGRETTE LONDON, 1878 Of faceted flattened form in heavy clear glass, with a sprung hinged cap at one end, opening by push-button to reveal the original ground-glass stopper, and a hinged vinaigrette cover at the other opening onto a pierced grille. Maker's mark 'SM' and signed S. MORDAN & Co LONDON London hallmarks Further marked 'C.O.O U.B.Z' Size/dimensions: 9.00cm long; 3.50cm wide Gross weight: 115.36g The glass is free of major chips, cracks or fractures, with light superficial scratches and minor internal clouding from perfume storage. The gilding remains largely intact with a warm lustre, with minor rubbing, light tarnish and micro-scratches, particularly about the base rim and collar, and a small dark spot or indentation to the lower edge of the vinaigrette cover, probably from a historic knock. Notably, the original ground-glass stopper survives. Both hinges are straight and tight, and the piece is offered in good condition.
