Hi, I bought this today -- which I believe is a *marriage* of sorts, as the stopper does not fit properly on it....but oh, well....
Now the crackled glass does have a gold foil label on it saying ROUMANIA.....I thought it was ROMANIA. Why the spelling like that? Is this older crackled glass, as can any give me a date on the label?
Now the stopper. As said, does not fit good. Anyone have any ideas on the stopper at all? Age? Maker?
Thanks :kissy:

One of the slightly older variant spellings Rose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania

Thanks Anne :kissy: - so would this variant spelling (??) help to date the item, plus the fact that it is also a foil label (eg Murano foil labels)? Reading that article could this be from the 1950's? What do you think? Opinion?
I did buy it for the label only. Probably only little $$$ to it but I also see there is a small connection with my European roots from Hungary (lol) - as in neighbors with Romania, or Roumania....both spellings.
Any idea at all on the stopper?

The stopper looks like it was from a Perthshire Paperweights scent bottle (PP22), made 1973 - 1996.

Thanks to Alan link in that PW post, I was looking around his site when I though I stumbled upon a stopper that I recognized -- so I dug out this post -- and see that KevH stated that right above too here.
Looks like the stopper from Alan site (www.pwts.co.uk/ (http://www.pwts.co.uk/)) and the stopper here: http://www.paperweights.com/pw2798.jpg Look like my stopper here in THIS post.
I have to agree -- that the stopper that I have here, looks like a stopper from a perthshire Paperweight Scent bottle. LOL
Anyone missing one?

Rose is there a ground neck in the bottle bit? The shape looks to me as though it doesn't need a stopper. It looks like a vase rather than a decanter if you see what I mean.
And its great to find a crackle piece with a sticker! I've always wondered where these clear and cased crackle pieces were being made - I'm sure all over the place and not just Roumania, but it's good to know.

Thanks -- that what I figured, it was a *marriage* so most likely a small crackled vase now. Yes, I bought it *just because* it had a sticker on it. Sole reason why.
...and again, if anyone is missing/needing a stopper from a Perthshire Paperweight Scent bottle -- there is one here since these two do not belong together.
I guess I could put this in the Market Place........should someone be looking for one.......
should I put that there??
