Orchard Antiques offer a curated collection of antique scent bottles, each with its own unique story to tell. Our journey began with a passionate collector Martin Glick who, after years of assembling many rare and exquisite pieces, has transitioned into sharing these timeless pieces with others.

Each bottle we offer has been carefully selected for its craftsmanship, historical significance, and unique design. From the kilns of the Kangxi emperor to the glassworks of Rene Lalique and the Daum Brothers, our selection showcases the artistry and meticulous craftsmanship that went into these beloved heirlooms. Where we can, we have provided details of the symbolism of the item or its decoration.

We don’t just sell antique scent bottles, we preserve history. We understand the love and care that comes with curating a collection, and it’s our mission to connect collectors with pieces that spark the imagination, evoke nostalgia, and celebrate the beauty of the past.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting your journey, we are here to guide you in finding the perfect piece for your collection. If you cant find what you are looking for in our store please let us know and we may be able to help.

We hope you will enjoy exploring our ever evolving collection and will join us in preserving the artistry and beauty of antique scent bottles.

Foreground is composed of boulders, the reverse, a large bird is in flight, and the tree is placed on the opposite side of the ruin. The canted corners are decorated with geometrical motifs, including a trellis-and-dot design, surmounted by gilt circles surrounded with dots. The narrowest edges are decorated with gilt wavy lines and alternating dots, and the shoulders have a gilt motif favoured by Giles studio in his work on glass. The neck is surrounded by a gilt wavy line with a band running through it.

Condition: Very good - no damage or restoration to the flask itself, although the stopper is broken and wedged in situ. The gilding is in very good order. The base is incised with the tiny initials ak (over) okh, possibly an old inventory reference.
