The most precious perfume container is the Emerald Unguentarium in the Imperial Treasury in Vienna near the Montezuma emerald, one of the biggest emeralds in the world. It was created by the famed gemstone cutter Dionysio Miseroni, working in Prague, in 1641, on the orders of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III. Dionysio worked at his home "White Rose House" at No. 8, Nerudova Road - the artistic masterpiece was presented to the Emperor 380 years ago and was paid 8,000 talers for his workmanship.
The emerald unguentarium has 2,680 carat emerald, enamelled gold; 10.9 cms high, 8.5 cms long, 7.2 cms wide.
Once the Emerald Unguentarium had a very special, rare and unique perfume inside which was based on an ancient formula because Prague was fascinated by these holy preparations.
