This is actually the color that came out when I took the shot in the evening light. The top is actually white, but it looks so pretty this way that I just used the shot as is.
It’s the top to a small glass bottle, somewhat similar to perfume bottle. The top is the flowers, then there’s a bit of lace and the cord to fancy it up. I’d post a photo of the entire bottle in my comments, except I don’t know that I can do that. The whole thing is probably about three+ inches high and, at the fat part of the bottle, two+ in diameter–and white! I took it when it was darker in the bedroom and this is how the color came out, but I thought it looked lovely.
Judy, I just send this answer to Su, who was also curious. This way you won’t have to go back to the post and look for my explanation while boosting my “view” stats. 🙂

This, that and the other thing 
… and don’t the textures work so well in sepia … lovely

Oh wow! How lovely! I really thought you’d post-processed into sepia. Golden hour/evening light can be really magical for photography.
Lovely….. 😊
Thanks once again.

Is that an actual bottle top — or am I being a bit dim?

Ah! It is really lovely, and the sepia effect works really well. Su.
Thanks, Su. It’s different from most of my shots and I’m glad you like it.

Need some explanation here, Janet. Is that a real bottle top? It looks like a lovely wax rose far too pretty to be a bottle top.

Wonderful explanation and I bet it is gorgeous in person as well. 🙂
It is and brings back wonderful memories, too.
So lovely, Janet. Love the timeless feel to this image. 🙂
Thanks very much, Sylvia.
So lovely.
Glad you like it, Karen. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

You’re welcome. x
So soft and beautiful. Love how it came out in sepia – making it timeless
That’s the actual color from a shot taken in the early evening, Raewyn, although the roses are actually white.

Love that vintage feel!
It gave me that same feel, Karen.
