Perfume bottle (one of six) (part of a set) 1728 - 1730

This set of six perfume bottles, crafted by Louis Mailly between 1728 and 1730, are now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York. The bottles are made of clear glass and have a faceted design with a silver-plated cap with a small chain. These delicate bottles are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the 18th century, capturing the essence of a time when perfume was a prized luxury item.
