Decorative swan-form trinket or perfume bottle stopper/top
Estimated Value
$40-$150
A small decorative object featuring a cobalt-blue faceted or scalloped glass base topped with an ornate swan figure in a silver-tone metal. The swan is rendered in a stylized, naturalistic manner with a curved neck, textured body, and openwork wing details. The piece appears to function as a stopper, vanity bottle top, or ornamental trinket container lid. The craftsmanship suggests a decorative vanity or dresser accessory rather than a utilitarian object. The combination of vivid blue glass and elaborate metalwork gives it an elegant, collectible appearance.
