(Thank you, I didn't know it was called a cross pattée)
RE the cross pattée crown perfume bottles and link to Harrach
Here is another possible link to Harrach in conjunction with the design links to the two crown items that are shown in the Harrach book - one a crown perfume bottle and the other a crown lid for a pokal:
Wikipedia says (amongst other descriptions of the cross pattée - this is just the one that was most relevant to this discussion)
'Iron Cross
In 1813, King Frederick William III of Prussia established the Iron Cross as a decoration for military valor, and it remained in use, in various forms, by Prussia and later Germany until 1945.'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_patt%C3%A9eWikipedia says this of the link between King Frederick William III of Prussia and the House of Harrach:
'
In 1824 Frederick William III married for the second time, to Countess Auguste von Harrach zu Rohrau und Thannhausen. At the time of their marriage, the House of Harrach was still not recognized as equal to other European royal families for dynastic purposes. The marriage was therefore morganatic and she was created Princess of Liegnitz. They had no children.[4]'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_William_III_of_PrussiaHarrach did use a stain - there is a candlestick in the book From Neuwelt to the Whole World - plate116 '
colourless glass, partially stained yellow and engraved' and '
c.1835' and '
Museum of Decorative Arts, Prague inv. no. 17953'
Yellow and red staining very famous in Bohemian glass (see Friedrich Egermann)
So ... we know Harrach made stained yellow glass, we also know they made crown perfume flakons with cross stoppers and lids for goblets in the crown design with a cross for a stopper. We know there is a link between the House of Harrach and King Frederick William III of Prussia.
The bottom part of every crown perfume bottle, with the exception of the Adelaide stained bottle which has other similarities, is very similar in design device and cutting to the becher on page 135 of From Neuwelt to the Whole World - plate 153 engraving by Dominik Biemann 1828.
I cannot currently find a link between Queen Adelaide and King Frederick William III or his second wife Countess Auguste von Harrach.
Queen Adelaide was from Saxe-Meiningen. Her father and details here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_I,_Duke_of_Saxe-MeiningenHowever, Queen Victoria's eldest child, her daughter Princess Victoria, was married to the German Emperor Frederick III at 17 (so 1857?) and became Queen of Prussia. She was named after Queen Adelaide (Adelaide married King William but had no surviving children so King William's niece became Queen Victoria):
'Victoria, Princess Royal (Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa;[1] 21 November 1840 – 5 August 1901) was German Empress and Queen of Prussia as the wife of Frederick III, German Emperor. '
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria,_Princess_RoyalSo the crown perfume bottle could have made it's way over here via a later date and as a present from the Queen of Prussia.
Re Apsley Pellatt and Falcon Glass Works query over whether they made crown pierced cut perfume bottles with cross stoppersCurrently I don't have any evidence for this. Does anyone know if there is a crown perfume bottle anywhere with a patent on it or with definitive id from Apsley Pellatt?
