Thanks, Castorpollux. Here are a few more;





This is very large (6 1/2" high x 4 3/4" wide), more for decoration.
It has a pattern of ginko leaves on it.
You can barely see the outline of the intact dauber inside.








This is a 'Moser' type. Covered in enameled decoration.

This is Czechoslovakian cut glass from around the 1920's-30's.
I found an all clear version in Miller's book of
perfume bottles valued at between $1000-2000!
(I paid about $40)

Pretty in pink deco bottle. (Sorry, just realized this is a repeat).



Sterling silver nut-shaped vinagrette.
The top unscrews and the whole thing can be pinned to a blouse.

I finally found a nice piece of silver overlay.
This one is 'Gorham' English sterling.



'Elfinware' is porcelain with moss and flowers on everything.
This pair is done in forget-me-nots.

This little guy is only about 4" tall.





It would be nice to have a top for this art glass but I like the vessel.





Some blown glass.







The artist's name is on the bottom of this modern English piece, although it is hard to read.

What wonderful additional to your dreamlike collection of bottles. Is Vaseline glass always that haunting chartreuse? I know nothing about it, but I am intrigued. When is it from?

I can't help but voyeristically appreciate the little views of your lovely home, too. I just love your whole playful, warmhearted, yet-elegant aesthetic.

Thank-you, Hillaire & 3nines! You are too kind! I think vaseline glass is some crazy kind that has a chemical in it- it is that bright yellow green you see & it flouresces (sp?) under a black light. Maybe it is uranium or something. I'm not sure. I don't think it's dangerous; at least I hope not!

Green with gold trim, also Devilbiss, and the really old 'Bohemian' style atomizer with enamel decorations.
In back, a 'Moser' type with gold enamel decoration.


This was listed as Loetz, I believe this is a 'millefiore' type.



A red-top Caron Narcisse bottle. A very early bohemian style cranberry glass atomizer with enamel decoration.



Sabino, perfume & powder box/case. (It's hard to see, those are swallows on the powder box.)

hi This is actually Lapis glass named after the stone Lapis Lazuli which was much prized in ancient times the Pharos having costly objects made from it buried with them in their tombs.
. Malachite is green.

hi this is not by Joseph Hoffman but Heinrich Hofffman .
Heinrich Hoffmann (1875 - 1939 ) was prominent among glass makers at the luxury level of vanity glass production.

Hi, are you talking about the green glass one with the woman on top? It doesn't seem to be listed under Heinrich on this website. (Thanks for this website, BTW, I'm joining up!) However, I do have this one I pasted in, with the ivy leaves in the malachite. I haven't photographed it yet.

Thanks for setting me straight on the malachite/lapis thing. Of course I knew lapis was blue. I don't know why I called it malachite, DOH!

Do you happen to know how I can get some values assigned to these bottles? You've been most helpful.

I just do seaches on the net to get a rough idea whet some thing is worth. It varies as to where and when and who is selling . A small store or a private person or in an up market store in New York or major capital city arround the world .

The collection is getting better and better!

I specially loved the red czech cut glass from the 20s and the fantastic Garniture Enfants de Lalique which I believe this one in particular is from the 70s!

Thank you!

Just hold onto it for a coupke of years, I recently (this year) saw a similar one at an auction and it actually went for about 4000 USD, which is not too shabby I thought it was going for less but it was a great surprise.

Again, Thank you for sharing such wonderful collection!

cheers

WOW! is there a symbol for fainting? I can't believe I was able to get this one for around $250. I thought it might be worth $1200 or so. It just shows that these things fluctuate wildly.
