    Hello. So I found this not so long ago, and I have no idea what it is. It is a tiny porcelain bottle, small enough to fit in the palm of my hand. There are tiny yellow stuff in it (like in the picture), and it has this strong smell. Don't know how to describe the smell though, but it smells kind of good. Does anyone know what it is.
    I would appreciate the help, thank you.

      Looks like a modern version of a vinaigrette, which was used in Victorian times to cover up the odor of human stench.

      Okey. So like smelling salts?
      Thank you for the help :)
