    A pair of elegant travel bottles, traditionally known as "Eau de Mélisse" bottles, crafted from cut crystal and sterling silver, hallmarked with the French Minerva 950 mark, circa 1900.

    Although featuring two distinct designs, they perfectly illustrate the refined style of Belle Époque toiletries. One bottle is adorned with straight-fluted crystal and a Louis XVI-inspired mount, while the other features twisted-fluted crystal and a Louis XV-style rocaille mount.

    Intended for perfume, Eau de Mélisse, or toilet alcohol, these bottles were elegant and sought-after travel accessories.

    Dimensions:

    * Height: 13 cm
    * Height: 14 cm

    Condition:
    Very good overall condition. Crystal without chips or cracks. Beautiful patina on the silver. One bottle has its original glass stopper; the other is missing.
