Crystal flask with gold and pearls

Eardrop-shaped crystal flask in pierced gold mount, intricately sculpted with hearts, palmettes, and scrollwork. The mounting is set on the base and the neck, and a large letter B is highlighted on the paunch of the flask. The delicately sculpted, hinged lid is inlaid with six pearls. The lid opens to reveal a gold stopper on the interior.
