Antique French 18k Vermeil .800/1000 Silver Teardrop Perfume Flask, Bottle, in Original Case hare Typically thought of as mantelLacking only the tiny stopper, this excellent c. 1870 1900 French teardrop perfume flask remains perfectly in its original domed presentation case, not a flaw to note other than stopper. Tiny French boar's head profile is the guarantee for . 800 1000 silver, slightly less than sterling, and as you can see, a generous layering of 18k gold on the silver, 'vermeil' as it's known in France. Hinge and clasp of lid working perfectly, as is it with the case.
