Hello Everyone!
This is a lovely little perfume bottle, ( about 4 3/4 inches high ), and what I believe to be a piece of vintage Czech glass.
The sides are beautifully decorated with enamelled designs accented with gold.
It still has the faint smell of perfume.
The only mark it bears,( on the bottom ) is a very faint ' C 5- '
Any guesses as to who the maker might be,...and do you reckon it's Czech?
Thanks.
