Thanks M, pic's as requested, the glass is very thick, ;D ;D

I think it is tricky to date these, Egermann amd others have been producing these for more than 150 years
-
Thanks Ivo, I'd say this was reasonably early due to the weight, wear and quality compared to more recent production, ;D

Lovely pics Keith.
17cm is 6 3/4" (just wondering whether that is too big for a perfume and too small for a decanter... and does it look as though it might have had a stopper in it at some point? )
Is there a number engraved on the inside neck anywhere? (long shot).
It looks old to me - difficult to tell from pictures but the wear to the gilding and the colour/density of the white overlay makes me feel it's an old piece (yikes, could be wrong of course:) but I'd have bought it thinking that ;D )

Hello M, no grinding for a stopper and no numbers, the wavy rim would make it difficult to pour any liquid, without making a mess ::) I think it's just a small vase, well I think so, ::) ;D ;D
