DescriptionPressed colorless glass perfume bottle and stopper with silver decoration. The perfume bottle (.a) has a flared rim, a cylindrical neck, a compressed spherical body, and a flat bottom. The perfume bottle has a raised, abstract pattern of wide lines and scrolls that have been painted with a silver substance. Silver has also been added around the edge of the rim. The perfume bottle is accompanied by a stopper (.b) with a domed finial, also with the same raised, silver decoration, above a tapered neck and a short cylindrical portion that fits into the bottle. Much of the silver decoration has worn off the raised lines on the perfume bottle and the stopper.
