Is this a query - or a test?  ;)

Is the neck really how it appears? To be a conical amber shape, inside a clear, straight "funnel".

We have a small general clue/lead to follow, with the use of gold foil.
But a lot of folk have used gold foil.  ???
So one has to consider the design too. Modernist, probably fairly recent.
It's small, but with that neck, a complex piece - it's hard to make something small and complex. Requiring experience as well as talent. I am wondering about our Adam A.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Iestyn Davies?
I know he made little zebra stripe perfume bottles with two shades of gold foil. On a "blocky" round foot. I had one.

I don't think it's Allistair Malcolm - but then, he always surprises me.  :)
