Topic: Scent bottle - frosted with clear flat facet showing internal large 'bubble'

[wolkenreb]

I wasn't sure how to describe this - is there a name for this technique (the internal bubble bit)? 

The stopper is clear glass with a flat bit like a piece has been sliced off.  (I used to be quite articulate!!!!)

It's almost like a bottle within a bottle really. The internal 'bubble' is a rich teal colour with gold specs.  4¹/2 inches high.

Does anyone know who makes these?  I've seen a couple listed on Ebay (where I bought this one) but there are no markings.  Any help would be much appreciated, as always.

Stuart Akroyd may be worth looking into.

Hi Nancy,  yours is not that unlike the one I bought on eBay that was signed by aa......but it was round and iridescent. It has the flat front like yours, but was missing the dipper....aa was very kind and made one for me,  so now it is complete.

And this pic shows the base.........with:  AA/LT  Turnmill London  1989  on it.

Nancy,

This one in the link looks very similar which was produced by Heron. Stuart Akroyd is also well worth a quick look, I know he has produced several perfume bottle which have had one edge/side faceted.

Thanks Greg and Rosie - some good leads there.  The bottle that you linked, Greg, is exactly the same shape as mine AND is has the slice out of the top of the stopper, so I think that's where I'll start digging.

Just looked at your link Greg,  and I agree,  much closer match....aren't they all so pretty.
Good luck with the search Nancy....but I think Greg has hit the nail on the head.

Yes, the nail is well and truly hit.  Here is an ended Ebay listing for the same style bottle, including box.  Thank you both!
