Bohemian? ruby etched perfme bottle help please.
« on: May 16, 2014, 04:47:15 PM »
I was reading a post from yesterday about two bohemian vases with the copper flashed etched design, i keep coming across these, same type of design thin red lid on mainly edges on pickle jars, perfumes bottles, decanters, is there anyway of telling the age and are they all Bohemian or were they being produced in the UK as well?.

This one looks like the pontil has been polished smooth then the star base cut.

It's 5 inches in height and 2 1/4 inches across the base, the stopper has to be the best fitting i have come across it's incredible how it matches the hole perfect and does not look to have been ground.

There are also a  few white seeds within the glass

It should read thin red lines.
