Antique French 18k Vermeil .800/1000 Silver Teardrop Perfume Flask, Bottle, in Original Case hare A real beauty and I

A real beauty and I just love the pearl earrings and hair jewelry of this one

a hand painted portrait medallion of a child holding a flower/rose

perhaps a name of a town or region during war

There is one fork missing so the set consists of eighteen spoons and seventeen forks

For years they've rested atop a small stack of my favorite leather bound antique books

Antique French 18k Vermeil .800/1000 Silver Teardrop Perfume Flask, Bottle, in Original Case hare A real beauty and ILacking 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.
