These types of miniature perfume bottles were used during the Victorian era to carry small amounts of perfume or aromatic essences. Pieces under 5 cm are especially interesting to collectors due to their small size. Some were part of *chatelaine* sets, chains or accessories that women wore suspended from their waists to keep small personal objects handy. The combination of decorated glass and silver was common in vanity and perfume accessories from the late 19th century.
