Hi everyone. I purchased this piece at an auction and when I got it home I realized it was a Bischoff Glass piece. The foil label says "by Bischoff Glass" and it looks like it might have a person standing to the left of the words maybe? My camera won't take a good picture of it or I would include it. My husband thinks it's a candleholder and that the glass stopper doesn't go with it (it doesn't fit snugly like you think it should). I think it is a perfume bottle. I have tried researching this online but I must not be looking in the right places. If anyone can give me some ideas on where to look or can tell me what it is and what it's worth possibly, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your help.

Probably the US company, but there was also a German company, picture of label may help. Just to confuse things, there was also a liquor company. Top looks definitely off, could be a perfume, ink, fancy liquor or vase - candle unlikely. Is the interior of the neck ground at all?

It looks like a small Bischoff vase with a unmatching stopper stuck in its mouth. Some people do this, maybe to increase the value of the piece or just because they have a stopper setting around. Does the vase look like it was made for a stopper?

How tall is your Bischoff? There is a similar shaped vessel at http://www.rubylane.com/shops/eyesnglas/item/1880, but I don't know if it anywhere near the same size. After checking the link Sue C provided, I wondered if the stopper may be original to your glass. It may just be the angle of the picture that makes it look unusual to me.

The interior of the neck is not ground. That's probably why the stopper doesn't fit as well as it should. I tried to get a better picture of the label, but everything I tried only made a glare on it. The link that Sue provided had a section on the different Bischoff lables and the second one down is exactly like the one on my glass (except the one on my glass the black has worn off) http://www.blenkocollectors.com/blenkocollothersstickers.htm (this is the direct link to it).
My glass is approximately 3 inches tall without the stopper. The one on the link that TxSilver provided is close, but much taller than mine. I have looked through tons of online pictures and have yet to find one exactly like mine. The only one that comes close is on the link TxSilver provided. I appreciate all the help that I have received.
