Historical and Collector Context

Henry Perkins & Sons were London silver mounters based on Tottenham Court Road. Their registered maker’s marks are found on a variety of late Victorian, Edwardian and early 20th-century silver-mounted objects, including vanity accessories, perfume bottle tops, jar lids, match strikers and small decorative pieces.

This trinket pot was assayed in London in 1907 during the Edwardian period. Its finely cut glass body and clearly hallmarked sterling silver collar make it an attractive and accessible example of Edwardian dressing-table ware.
