The crown if actually plated/cased with yellow glass a small ' Tour de Force'. I wonder if the yellow may be a silver stain [ not silver color, silver in the stain batch to get the yellow].
Well now ... funny you should say that. My absolute first thought on coming across it by accident was 'made by Neuwelt, stained either at Neuwelt or by Egermann'.
I investigated what I'd recalled in the book:
See page 109 of From Neuwelt to the Whole World, plate 115 - for a 'Flacon in the form of a crown' which indeed is very, very similar and has a Maltese cross for a stopper.
The 'turban' cutting around the foot is something Harrach used, seen on many items in the book, and iirc it's specifically mentioned in the book. I'll try and find the quote.
