<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2867104, member: 2844&quot;]Proud owner shows off the latest addition to her kohl bottle collection.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>It is an Indo-Persian silver baby, with partial gilding. Some of the gilding is rubbed away, especially on the finial.</p><p>The seller thought it was brass, and the price was the same as for a new brass kohl bottle.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It tests as silver.</p><p>He also thought it was a perfume bottle, he probably never noticed all that black powder jumping out every time you open it.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The pear shape of the body is Persian, but the lotus decoration is Indian. The floral/star shape of the top of the bottle is much like the capitals on Indo-Persian pillars.</p><p>The base has received some knocks over the years. That&#039;s life.</p><p><br /></p><p>Height: 12 cm/4.72&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>No questions, but any extra info is welcome as always.</p><p>Thank you for looking.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]283895[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]283896[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]283897[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]283898[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]283899[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]283900[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The base, the silver is too thick to reshape it, so it will stay this way to show its age.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]283901[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
