A rare and elegant antique cut crystal lemon balm bottle, adorned with a finely chased sterling silver mount, bearing the Minerva hallmark on both the stopper and the inner cup. This refined piece combines the purity of fluted crystal with the warmth of vermeil, in a precious and timeless style.
The screw-on stopper reveals its original internal mechanism, attesting to delicate silversmithing and high-quality craftsmanship.
The base of the bottle conceals an elegant removable silver cup, once used for enjoying lemon balm or other essential oils while traveling—a detail as ingenious as it is refined.
The chased friezes and engraved monogram enhance the distinguished character of this essential or travel item, typical of the precious accessories of the Belle Époque.
In good antique condition with slight wear consistent with age; note that the inner stopper is present.
