Did you receive a response to your enquiry of Pauline Delaney? (Not that there is much doubt as to the identification.)

Hi Trevor,

I did send an inquiry email via her web site contact form a day or two after you suggested, but no reply.

I've no doubt it is one of her works now.  [must get this tread title changed and moved to A NZ section too] Bit of house keeping in order here... couple of threads to update too.

I should try again.  There are other ways to contact and given I'm not all that far away, based in Melbourne, could take a few pieces back 'home' for a visit.

Also.... kinda associated to this oil burner.

I wonder where I can buy these wick holders AND if there would be risk in using them in all these perfume bottles I have that are missing the stoppers.
I have a large borosilicate oil lamp thats seen many hours of burn, using this brass and a borosilicate holder. Impressive look when adjusted correctly, bit wild and smoky if not.  But I've never burned in this that I assume is not boro.

Maybe it's easier to use these 'wanting' bottles as oil lamps, than try finding someone to supply or make a suitable stopper?

Thought about this today when I found a little old hand cut crystal perfume bottle with a silver plate fitting, missing the stopper or atomiser thingo. 
Figured I could either remove the metal and grind whatever is under that down and open hole to suit a brass wick holder or flame work some boro tube to make one to fit the existing metal collar... maybe. 

Thats about the limit of my glass work skill and confidence to resolve the World wide missing stopper problem, for myself at least. 

Perhaps then the bottles would have some functional purpose... not that I have any purpose for them as perfume storage or a titchy little vase.
