DATE: Victorian, c.1881

Cool Victorian amphora scent bottle with gorgeous minimalist floral and foliate decoration, almost certainly inspired by the English Pre-Raphaelite movement. Complete with its original screw cap and chain for wear as a pendant. Or why not use it - in the spirit of the ancient amphora - to transport a slug of your finest brandy/cognac? For use in emergencies, or whatever... It's stamped STIRLING (silver) 81; I'm guessing the number relates to the year it was made (1881).
