An unusual and elaborate Indian Raj silver locket and chain. Locket is tested silver with a design in very high relief of a god and stylized bird in intricate detail. Locket is fairly light in weight and is suspended on an interesting, and quite heavy, tested silver chain. The flat curved links have stylized snakes in the middle with square shaped panels on each side. The flat links are joined together with round links, and the necklace closes by a large spring ring which fits into the bale of the locket. Choker style. Very impressive piece.
Condition: Very good. A very tiny ding on the back of the locket, but this does not detract from the appearance. . No glass in locket.
Size: Chain- 17 inches. Locket- 2 1/4 X 1 3/4 inches.

This is a exceptionally beautiful, and quite heavy,
antique glass perfume casket in thick shaped cranberry glass with four interlocking metal legs and handles in the same design.
Inside the casket are two clear glass bottles with elaborate gilded tops fitting into two square sections of gilded metal. This is an exquisite quality piece that is probably 19th century French. Colors are magnificent.
Condition: Very good. One bottle has a small edge chip and is missing its stopper. Metal work is in lovely condition and the lid opens and closes firmly.
Size: Bottles: height-2 1/2 inches.
Casket: width- 4 1/4 inches; depth- 2 1/4 inches; height- 4 1/2 inches.

A lovely antique cut glass scent bottle from the Victorian era, with the design of a cornucopia, or horn of plenty. The metal top has an elaborate open work design, and around the circumference of the top is an intricate metal work design which extends over the top of the cut glass. This design is repeated on the bottom section. The pictures give a good example of the excellent workmanship in this antique piece. The scent bottle has its original stopper, finger ring, and chain.
Condition: Very good. May have been silver plated at one time. Top opens and closes firmly, and the hinge is secure.
Size: Length- 5 inches from top to bottom, following the curve.

A very lovely cranberry glass vinaigrette with a tested sterling silver top. Ring is marked with a lion. The top is hinged, and when opened, reveals a silver cap with holes in it to provide the vinaigrette with a grill to allow the scent to pass through. There is a small piece of old material in the bottle which may be original to the piece, but I am not sure of this. The silver top is highly repoussé with flowers and scrolls.
A very sweet antique piece.
Condition: Very nice. Beautiful deep color to the cranberry glass.
Size: height- 1 1/2 inches.

A very pretty small Asian style silver vinaigrette, or snuff box, in the shape of a shoe with engraved decorative work all over. Design shows a Foo dog face at the front, lotus flowers and leaves on the sides, and a sliding pierced lid that fits neatly into the top. The bottom of the piece has a Chinese signature and the number 35, which is likely 935 silver, as well as the makers mark SW. Very attractive and with exceptional workmanship.
Condition: Fine. No scratches or dents. Color bright.
Size: 2 1/2 X 5/8 inch.
