This unusual bottle was most likely fashioned as a scent bottle in the 18th or 19th century. The small Wedgwood plaques were made in a variety of colors at the factory in England, and were used as embellishments on a variety of jewelry and objets de vertu in both England and the Continent. The elegant and sophisticated combination, of a jade bottle, with a Wedgwood plaque within Continental gold mounts, is extremely rare.

For related small Wedgwood plaques dating from 1776-1790, see R. Reilly, Wedgwood, London, 1989, p. 528, pl. c131, and p.540.
