Fenton Boxtle with Jeweled Mounts

Image
Rare glass perfume bottle and powder jar with a jeweled brass filigree frame. This is referred to as a Boxtle because the perfume bottle and with jeweled stopper is part of the lid that covers the powder jar on the bottom. The brass ring that the powder portion sits in, is embellished with different colored faceted and bezel set glass stones. The colors of the glass stones are red, blue & green. These stacked sets were made by Fenton in the 1920s and 30s but, the jeweled filigree metal decoration takes it to another level and you rarely see them. Photos by ebay seller renewedobjects.
