Description
Small perfume flask of copper alloy. The spherical body is covered with a geometric design. A narrow band loops under the body and finished on either shoulder in a loop terminal that supports a chain. The neck is formed from a separate sheet with serrated edges resting on the shoulder. There is a cork stopper attached to a bulbous head. On either side of the head is a loop through which the chain may thread. Thus when the stopper is removed it is suspended from the chain. On top of the head is a magnifying glass with six views of Denny.
