CZECH, VINTAGE PERFUME BOTTLE WITH BRILLIANT HAND CUT STOPPER, c.1928-39
This Czechoslovakian vintage perfume bottle with beautiful clear, cut crystal base and matching fan, cut crystal stopper has a pattern of facets and stars. It is not acid etched, "Made in Czechoslovakia", which was required on bottles destined for export. However, I can personally vouch for its authenticity as I purchased it domestically, at an antique shop while on vacation in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1995, before the Czech Republic started reissuing bottles. This brilliant hand cut vintage bottle will add sparkle and shine to your Czechoslovakian perfume bottle collection.
Size: 4 3/4" h. Condition: Bottle and stopper in excellent condition. Partial dauber. Click on gallery photo to see additional pictures.
