Pair of baluster shape cut glass perfume bottles.
« on: January 10, 2024, 07:38:40 PM »
New additions to my little collection - this lovely pair of matching baluster shape cut glass (? crystal) perfume bottles.  Unfortunately they didn't come with their stoppers and it would be interesting to know what they would have looked like.  They stand 5.5 inches high and are quite heavy (360g) with a solid hexagonal shape glass stem.  Lots of nice detail, the names of which I'm not too familiar with, but I do like the cut design on alternate sides of the stem which almost look like a sawtooth(?) pattern.  No markings. 
Any ideas how old they might be or where they originated from would be very much welcome.
TIA :)

I will try to upload a better image tomorrow.

the little cuts remind me of those on the stems of some Val St Lambert glasses and also I think Saint-Louis. Early 1900s for the goblets I think.
Otherwise it reminds me a bit of a cut perfume bottle I had which had been cut over a pulled feathered glass effect bottle.  I think it was suggested that was probably Victorian.

 :-* Thanks for that.  I'll widen my search.  Hopefully this better(?) image will upload...  They are really difficult to photograph as there is a lot of cut pattern detail.

if you look up Acid etched ST Louis art nouveau goblet or Val ST Lambert acid etched wine glass roemer goblet, something like that, some examples of the little cuts will come up I think

Correction:  should be octagonal shape stem, not hexagonal ::)
