Smelling Bottle
Glassware
Seahorse style scent bottle made entirely of clear blown glass. The body of the bottle is drawn out in the form of a tail and curled back against the underside of the body, resembling a seahorse. One edge of the bottle is ribbed while the other edges are decorated with a rigaree. The body has an etched floral design and on one side the name "M. Robinson" is etched.
