Title: vanity bottle or tat
Post by: singingyamada on October 12, 2011, 02:56:38 AM

Got this today at an oppie. The top is a long pyramid shape with a chunky pattern cit out of one edge. I then comes to a frosted glass stopper and then a small drop
The bottom has 14 faces with a partially frosted clear inner hole.  Its stands 23cm high. there are no markings but there is a sticker of yellow and white foil that says "superior quality hand cut"

With the pagoda engraved in the stopper it would be easy to conclude that this one is from the far east. I have seen similar style paperweights made in China - featuring the Eiffel tower no less so I guess China is your answer. To which I may add, these perfume bottles are exremely clever in design and vicious as a weapon. Take care :thup:

The old-fashioned label might indicate it was 50s/60s/70s though. Perhaps Czech is another option as it has vague similarities to http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,42154.0.html

Christine gets there first ;) almost certainly the same source but dating of label is interesting as the one in that thread is very recent so perhaps these have been in production for a long time.

there is a contrariness with the design the piece itself as a bottom and stopper and the sticker. which is the reason I bought it and there is a different number of facets to the stopper and base.

Is it lilac, possibly neodymium glass, or is it just picking up a reflected colour?

Hi Anne its clear glass. I think it picked up the tinge from my desk.  Lee

True and no sticker .hurrumph.  So I dont know if this makes it clearer or muddier.

Probably ignore that seller  ...   doesn't look as if they're speaking with any authority. Just describing  what they see?

True.  I was going to email them and ask them for a reference point but I think it would be a waste.  i think it can just sit on my book case and look interesting.

 :hi: Hi!  It's very pretty in its own right but it would be more of a buzz for you to have a correct attribution. I'm sorry I'm such an ignoramus and can't be more help. Do enjoy it, that's what counts.    :sun:

???

Just my 2 cents worth. 

I had posted a Perfume bottle a while ago.  The *label* style on mine is the exact same as the one posted here.  Mine is also yellow/gold foil label -- BUT mine says "HAND CUT- HAND POLISHED"

To see the link  GMB Post of Mine  (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,38688.0.html).  So not sure if that helps any......but worth the view I guess...

I never got any answers there  :thud:

Different shape is no big deal, definitely the same.
