Imari Perfume Bottle with Stg Silver cap


I love these colours which in Australia we refer to as Imari colours named so after the well known Japanese Imari porcelain.   These colours were very popular at the end of the 19th early 20th century.   I have a castor sugar shaker in the same colours and over the years have seen lots of tea sets with this style of border. 

This round bottle has a sterling silver cap, date stamped 1912 Birmingham, the makers mark is unclear and there is no pottery mark on the bottle itself but I think it would have been made at one of the minor English potteries.  7cm or 2 .75 inches tall.
