That is absolutely gorgeous!! I have a few of my grandmothers victorian dresses. Had an opera coat but it fell apart about 20 years ago. She (and then my mother & aunt) used to use it for dressup as they were growong up & it wasn't in the best shape. That looks gorgeous!

A lovely antique velvet brocade coat from Philadelphia for a night at the opera! The back is slit to accommodate the bustle dress. The sleeves are doleman style which severely restrict the arm movement. It is a treasure!

Hi Estelle...it is a Codd bottle...named for the person who discovered the use of a pinched bottle with a marble stopper which kept the fizzy contents fresh until the seal was broken.
Here is a link to my listing with more info. They are hard to find...my husband grew up breaking any he found to get the marbles out!

I absolutely love the style of the Victorian gentlemen. They always looks so dapper in their top hats and canes.

Thanks. That is interesting. I have never heard of a Codd Bottle. I must do more research on it. I love to learn something new about something old!
