Fully hallmarked for London, 1904, and the outlet maker's mark of Percy Whitehouse, who carried on the family tradition of making high quality dressing table items for sale by prestigious shops, such as Asprey and Mappin & Webb. The bottle itself has a simple, faceted cut glass design, with a volume of 50ml.
Dates from 1904, as shown by the hallmark.

The silver top is in good period condition, with a few tiny marks, as shown in the photos. The bottle is perfect, save for a tiny flea bite to the rim above the threaded portion. There is still a definite trace of perfume smell inside the cap.
Perfect to use as intended, or as a display piece.
