Art Deco Pair of Italian Crystal Toiletry Bottles and Silver Lid
About the Item
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects.
Simple but fascinating pair of toiletry bottles; crystal with a lead content of 30 percent was used in their execution; the high lead content, replacing the calcium found in ordinary glass, gives the crystal considerable hardness, exceptional transparency, and a high refractive index; were cut and shaped, but not ground, leaving the crystal smooth, then painstaking hand polishing was carried out so as to make the crystal even brighter and more transparent; the bottles have a silver lid and a crystal stopper to achieve airtight sealing of the bottles so that they can hold salts, essences, and perfumes so that these are not in contact with air and lose their characteristics. The lids and their fitting on the bottles are handcrafted with silver craftsmanship, the design is sober and elegant; they were made between 1930 and 1935 in a silversmith's workshop in Florence; unfortunately, the hallmark that would allow us to identify the craftsman who made them is illegible; while the 800-thousandths silver hallmark is well stamped. The wonderful crystal from Colle di Val d'Elsa (Siena-Italy), the most famous area in Italy for its high concentration of factories and artisans specializing in crystal working, known worldwide for the very high quality of their production, was used for the body of the bottles. These two elegant and refined objects will bring a touch of sophistication to any toilet or bedroom. The bottles are in good condition. Measurements diameter cm.9, height cm.12. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
