A magnificent and 100% authentic example of an early Victorian barber bottle in a bright aquamarine hue. This item is a beautiful example of high-quality 19th-century glassware and an absolute treasure for any collector.
Key Features:
Dating: Circa 1860-1880 (early BIMAL production period).
UV Luminescence: Crafted from antique manganese-containing glass; it emits a beautiful, distinctive green glow under 365nm UV light.
Unique Decoration: Rich relief with acanthus leaves and a rare, continuous floral garland elegantly rising from the neck.
Condition: The glass is virtually crystal clear and very pure. Only under direct backlighting is a very subtle, natural antique haze visible at the transition to the neck – a genuine testament to its great age. Craftsmanship: Hand-blown (mold-blown) with a hand-applied lip (applied finish) and a charming, slightly slanted neck that emphasizes the authentic craftsmanship.
