Hi could you look at the photos and see if you recognise the maker and did any British maker make glass in this colour and is it depression glass,the stopper is a ground stopper and fits well.lynn

Hi Lynn, I have a similar-shaped clear perfume with a different stopper (see pic below). Mine came in a plain white box marked Made in Italy, made not that long ago (within the last 20 years I'd say.).

Depression glass is a term best reserved for 1920s/30s pressed glass made in America. (That's not to say that nowhere else didn't make glass then, just that no-one else defines their history in quite that way)
