Antique German 925 Sterling Silver Mounted Ribbed Glass Scent Bottle

An antique German dressing table scent bottle with a tall cylindrical ribbed glass body and 925 sterling silver fittings. The clear moulded glass is finished with elegant vertical optic ribbing, while the threaded collar is paired with a domed screw-on silver lid.

The silver collar is marked with the German crescent moon and crown hallmark, together with the “925” silver standard and an additional maker’s mark that is not sufficiently clear to identify. The domed lid closes securely, and the slender glass form gives the bottle a refined early to mid-20th-century dressing table presence.
