Pair of Vintage Continental Silver Royal Corgi Crown-Top Scent Bottles

An exceptional and rare pair of solid 800 silver novelty scent bottles, wonderfully cast in the form of Royal Pembroke welsh Corgis wearing screw-top crowns.

These substantial, beautifully detailed pieces were likely crafted in Continental Europe during the mid-20th century (1950s–1970s) to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II and the iconic British Royal association with the breed. Finding a matching pair in this caliber of preservation is incredibly difficult, making this a prime acquisition for serious collectors.

Item Details & Specifications:
Material: Solid 800 Silver (Clearly hallmarked "800" on the underside of the paws).
Interior: Original gold wash (vermeil) lining inside the hollow crowns and body, traditionally used to protect the raw silver from perfumes or smelling salts.
Length: 10.5 cm (approx. 4.1 inches) per dog.
Weight: A very substantial 105 grams per dog.

Condition :
Both pieces are in museum-quality condition with one corgi having slight deeper chasing mark on the left side showcasing hand finishing.
Casting & Patina: The heavily chased fur texture retains a beautiful, deep natural patina that highlights the lifelike three-dimensional casting and the character in their expressive faces.
The Crowns: The delicate openwork detailing on both crowns is crisp, completely undamaged, and free of the typical dents found on vintage silver.
Mechanics: The screw threads on the necks are clean and perfectly defined, allowing the heavy crowns to twist on smoothly and sit completely flush.

These are magnificent, heavy-gauge cabinet pieces that will instantly elevate any collection of novelty silver, antique scent bottles, or Royal canine memorabilia.
