That's an amazing little scent bottle! Think about the technique required to blow such a bit of glass!

There are no markings and no pontil.
A glas-collector book says it's french made and for one-way use.
Different lenghs would exsist.

Which book says that it is for one-time use? ...Rainer Kosler's book?

That doesn't seem to be good marketing: expensive packaging with very little product inside. Any time I see cut glass, I assume that it is not a disposable piece. You did indicate that this little fiole was cut glass, didn't you?

 

[Erdspiegel]

Yes,cut glas.

Thank you. I've seen those cross-cut flacons at bottle shows, but always assumed that they were bottles for the purse to be refilled as necessary. What does the caption say?
