Jonette Jewelry (JJ) Pewter and Glass Perfume Bottle

This is a vintage miniaturized perfume bottle featuring a clear glass bulbous body with a weighted pedestal base. The piece is highly characteristic of Jonette Jewelry (commonly marked 'JJ'), known for their whimsical pewter designs. It is adorned with a detailed pewter overlay of a dolphin or porpoise leaping through stylized waves, encircling the glass center. The metalwork exhibits a matte, satin finish typical of poured pewter, with intentional darkening in the recessed areas to create depth and contrast. The screw-top cap is also crafted from pewter and features an ornate repoussé-style floral or foliate motif, possibly depicting stylized iris or lilies, which suggests a Neo-Art Nouveau influence. Measuring approximately 2 to 3 inches in height, the bottle is likely from the late 20th century (circa 1980s). The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks in the glass. The pewter shows a natural age-related patina with minor surface oxidation and rubbing consistent with handling. While the 'JJ' maker's mark is likely on the underside of the pewter base, the distinct sculptural style confirms its origin as a Jonette novelty item.
