Although these types of embellished bottles don't seem to have a great following, I like them a lot!
Sorry for photo quality!

Cheers.

Your right..

Although.. Yours is a much nicer example than the cheaply soldered ones I am use to seeing.. I do like your bottle very much. Easy to see the difference between your nicely soldered filagree and a cheaply soldered one. Also the way that the filagree really fits nicely to the stone ( Jade ? ) body.

Beautiful bottle !

Not nearly as nice as your bottle.. And not so sure we can consider this filagree work, but am presently bidding on this one.. Auction ends in a couple hours, so will see if I end up with it..  Smiley

The brass/bronze does fit the bottle shape nicely, and thinking will be able to replace/solder a new hinged stopper to it. As it is missing.

Hey ! What do ya know... Won it !

Although am pretty sure it is a perfume or scent type bottle rather than a snuff type bottle, will end up fixing it up with a new hinge, add a top and put it back up for auction..

Will be a good chance to do a little more experimenting !  Cheesy

It is very nice but I strongly suspect you are right about it being a scent/perfume bottle.  But hey, for that price!  Nice going...
