    Hi all I picked up this little bottle the other day and was hoping to get some information on the age if possible.
    The foil tag is worn but i thinks just reads "made in England"
    I did some searching and found some but nothing to narrow down the age of these ceramic bottles? it is 2" tall without the stopper.

    Love this! A few years ago, I was on the hunt for a vintage Torquay-made Devon Violets perfume bottle like this but I've moved on, LOL. My guess on age... mid-20th century.
    Yours is missing a plastic top cap.
    (Oddly, the seller whose photo I show below of a very similar bottle with the same mark on the bottom claims 1920s in their eBay listing and 1960s in their Etsy listing for same item.)

    These are post war, usually. Little souvenirs. I suspect made by somewhere like Bovey Tracey, the brushwork is very Plichta like.

    So the red cap is a cover on the metal.
    I've seen this metal cap on others so it must be original just missing the cover?
