FLEA MARKET TREASURE

[Rancho Leo]

This great looking perfume bottle with silver flower design overlay was picked up by my sister at a local flea market. she had a time bargaining the price down to a whopping $4.00 She would like to know if anyone has seen similar bottles before.. Near as I can tell the overlay was made using the "lost wax process" then the ends of the string of flowers soldered together on the bottle. There is no hall mark that I can find anywhere in the casting or on the bottle. The quality of the finished product is too great to be common at all. Any in
formation would be helpful. thanks

That is very similar, Angelo. there are over 5,000 perfumes bottles on e-bay. Do you have the link? It may hold a clue.

Is the bottle ruby red glass, Galt? That info may help search.
How do you know it is perfume? Does it have contents or odor?

I believe I have seen that bottle somewhere before.

One step ahead of you ... but I added a touch of mint to it
