The mounting is fitted with a chain that is attached to a finger ring. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally, this tiny bottle would have been filled with smelling salts, with the ring worn around the pinky, making sure it was on hand all the time and preventing it from getting lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis bottle was created by Ludwig Politzer, who was a famous silver smith in Vienna during the Belle Epoque, known for creating small 'objects de vertu' or small objects that were both practical and exquisitely made. His craftsmanship earned him the prestigious title of Imperial Court Jeweller, signifying his association with the Habsburg court.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL INFORMATION \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize: 5 x 2 x 2 cm, excluding the chains and ring. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 17.80 grams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAge: Late 19th Century, circa 1860s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: The mounting is hallmarked with hallmarks indicating it was made from 750\/1000 silver in Vienna between 1867 and 1872.
