English perfume bottle or other unsure
« on: May 17, 2010, 04:15:43 PM »
Good evening
I have been trying to locate the age maker etc of this lovely decorative item.  I assume it is a perfume bottle but maybe a bit large for that I am not sure.  The stopper has 10 outer peaks and the central higher peak which is faceted. Working down is a multi faceted neck and beaded collar.  Further down are the scrolls on a fine orange peel background with the odd bead between.  The waist has a lovely barley twist with hobnail pattern below.  To finish this off is the ground scalloped edge base with star and small circle centre.  I hope I have described this well. 
I am banging my head against a brick wall.  Fenton keeps jumping into my head but I know thats because I am just associating the hobnail.  I did buy this in France but from a British brocanteur.  Just to add this is approx 11-11.5cm tall without the stopper.
Hoping to pin this down
Margi
