Perfume Bottle Brooch

This perfume bottle brooch dates from an era when fragrance was carried in tiny personal containers rather than spray bottles. Worn on a dress or blouse, it held just enough perfume for a day’s outing, combining beauty with a practical purpose. This kind of jewelry was especially popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods (roughly 1880–1915), when ornate personal accessories were fashionable and often served both decorative and functional purposes.
