Description
This solid sterling silver perfume bottle is in remarkable condition. It is clearly hallmarked on the base for London 1885, with the maker's mark of Sampson Mordan. It is wonderfully engraved and decorated by Kate Greenaway. The lid is tight and the internal stopper is present. The gilding inside is also in excellent condition. Kate Greenaway was a well loved and prolific English Victorian artist and writer, known for her children's book illustrations and most notably her very popular depictions of children in imaginary 18th-century costumes in the Queen Anne style. Born in Hoxton in 1846, she was the daughter of a draughtsman and engraver, John Greenaway. She popularised a style of drawing that is instantly recognisable as hers – delicate watercolours of children with animals and birds in the English countryside. Between 1882 and 1884 Kate Greenaway pictures appeared on Sampson Mordan scent bottles almost always with children in the foreground and a house or church in the background. Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.
