Buyer's Premium:

This lot comprises three vintage items: a miniature spirit bottle and two small flasks of varying construction.

The first item is a green glass Gordon’s Special London Gin miniature bottle. The paper label is printed with Genuine London Gin, Distilled and Bottled only by Gordon’s, and bears the Royal Warrant to Her Majesty the Queen. Further inscriptions include Tanqueray Gordon and Co. Ltd, The Heart of a Good Cocktail, and a strength of 70 proof. The bottle features a foil-wrapped stopper.

The second item is a decorative ethnographic flask or scent bottle. The body is constructed from a polished white material, likely bone or antler, with white metal mounts. These mounts are decorated with chased sunburst and geometric patterns. The body is further ornamented with white metal inlays depicting a central bird motif and stars. A white metal chain connects the body to a stopper topped with a natural material.

The third item is a curved white metal hip flask. It features a distinctive all-over cast or hammered textured finish resembling crocodile skin or a coral-like organic pattern. It is fitted with a standard screw-top lid. No maker’s marks or hallmarks are visible on the metal components.
