A Lithyalin glass scent bottle made to imitate striated red agate. The hinged lid is engraved silver with a gold wash finish. There are no silver marks but it tests as silver and dates to circa 1860.
There are some fleabites on the edges - the most obvious being on the corner of the base (see last photo). Otherwise, it is in excellent condition but minus its stopper.
