The IPBA Virtual Museum continues to grow its collection of perfumes, compacts, powder boxes, purses, vanity items, and related ephemera. But 9,000 items is just a drop in the bucket given what is out there across all these categories. So please keep contributing items to our Virtual Museum!

The bottle is fitted with a silver mount with hinged cover chased with flowers and leaves, and an inner glass stopper. The silver is fully hallmarked for London, 1885.
