My mum gave me this beautiful bottle that she bought in a secondhand shop many many years ago, I have always loved it but thought it was "just" a very pretty bottle.
Watching a UK TV show ..Antiques Roadshow.. I saw the very same bottle in a different colour and only then realized it's age. I take more care cleaning it now. Can anyone tell me more about it please, and how I can verify it is genuine and it's value ( if any )
Thanks
Lou

Your bottle is Czech, and and is blue colored glass not malachite. Malachite is a opaque green glass. If the dauber is intact it will have a higher value. You can check ebay for these kind of bottles and get some kind of idea what it might sell for.
