What does the label say please?
-
Sorry, I should have mentioned the label was put there by a previous owner. It only states the estate it was purchased from in 1962 and that they paid $4 for it.

I am curious what it does with a black light?
I am also curious as to dimensions...
It is an interesting piece. The vivid colors, particularly the bright yellow-green, strike me as Czech......

It is 7 1/2" tall and 2 1/2" diameter on the bottom. It does nothing in black light. I'm glad someone else is intriqued by the colors and design. I pushed it a little too hard at auction, but it is just so interesting.

Fashionable shoulders - I should think Italian or French rather than Czech and rather early - maybe around 1910/ 1920 - but you'll have a really hard time to attribute this one. And as always - could be off by a mile.

The lack of black light reaction would lead me away from early Czech or Italian, as the yellow-green would most likely have lit up light a traffic light.. The satin handles would made me think Italian initially also, but my impression is that the colors are just not quite right for that. I still leans strongly towards Czech on the piece....
Let's see if anyone else chimes in on this one... It is interesting.
