The shell has a pinhole on either side just below the neck, making it unsuitable for holding liquid.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring the nineteenth century, miniature perfume bottles and scent flasks were fashionable personal accessories, allowing their owners to carry a favorite fragrance throughout the day. Often suspended from chatelaines or worn as pendants, these intimate objects combined everyday practicality with extraordinary craftsmanship. The scallop shell was a particularly romantic decorative motif, associated with the sea, travel, and the classical goddess Venus.  This pendant is a wonderful survivor of the Victorian tradition of carrying fragrance as both a personal luxury and a beautiful ornament.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece was originally made and sourced in England and shows wear consistent with age. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece measures just over 3\" in length including the bail.
