stunning!
what are its measurements? i say Bohemian
wow! stunning...:-)
It is a tad of 9 inches tall, the base at its widest is close to 4 inches; and I just noticed on the base it has E 206 scratched on the base, but no matchig numberon the stopper, but Definitely original, not a marriage - :) and thanks for the comments, I love this, so different - have one other I am going to post - I am thinking American, but no clue at all on it - :)
at 9" would this be a cruet?
i just adore it! congrats.. i think it's super special
moser maybe
Thanks czechman - I don't collect cruets; so am not sure; but bought this with a few other perfume bottles at an auction, supposedly all from the same perfume collection? so believe? it to be a perfume - maybe a cruet collector has a better idea?
either way it's fantastic!
I think Bohemian as well. The shape and decor definately say Bohemia late 19th C, and Moser is a good place to start. Definately too large for a perfume. Love the design, shape and color. I wonder if this was part of a set?
Thanks dasullywon; would love to see a set of this - LOL! so, if not a perfume, what do you think it was used for? If a cruet? as I don't know anything about them? Thanks :) :) :)
If it's a decanter there might be matching glasses; if a cruet it might have come as a matching pair (oil & vinegar). And if it is a very large perfume it might have come with an entire dresser set including tray, pin box, hair receiver, who knows? Fun to imagine what else might be out there.
WOW That is one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe this is Bohemian also.Please post pic under blacklight ??
Hi Hedgewalker :). Will take a pic when I get home and post it! :). Tickled you like it!!!

Hi - just posted a couple extra photos; I hope you can see the etching Greatsnowyowl, I know it is hard to see - thanks!

Hi Greatsnowyowl;
