Gold cased glass bottle effectively in good condition, lid is a little bent out of shape with some denting, hinge is frail but intact, conceals an original glass stopper, and does shut tight, possibly a small loss where the petalled edge mount around the neck meets the strips of gold running up the body, this may however just be a construction fault, a break to the glass of the foot, however it does comes with the original gold cased stand which could be re-attached, a tiny stamped mark to the underside of the base.
The jasper bottle a little discoloured and dirty, both lids unscrews to reveal a small ill-shaped but probably original blue jasper stoppers, no marking to the gold work, lids look original.
