Hello there can anyone help me with this please it's very similar to two Okra glass perfume bottles i own but there both iridescent and signed, i've no idea where this has come from any help welcome please, it's 3 3/4 inches in height and just over 2 1/2 inches across the base, the pontil has been melted, it's also missing it's stopper. there is no age wear as it had four rubber stoppers stuck to the base.

I don't think it's well enough made to be Okra, it doesn't look like an Okra design either. It's rather wide and unbalanced, Okra tends to be tall and slim in design, rather more "elegant".
I'm not an Okra collector, but to my knowledge, most of it does have iridesence.

Sue, when you say it's not well made, do you mean the design, or the techniques used? I appreciate you might not like the design, but the regularity of the pattern, the variation on the basic fenicio design, and the finish all look pretty good to me.

The swags are slightly squint rather than straight, not what I would expect from Okra, and I personally feel it's a rather inelegant squat shape, again, not consistent with Okra, which tends to be rather more attenuated, tall and elegant.
(I have one piece of Okra, Merlin's Web, which has swags - they are all straight around the vase.)
