    Hi everybody,

    I have bought me a opaline glass perfume bottle.

    I was just wondering how old it would be.
    The seller thought it was made by Baccarat,
    but he couldn't provide 'evidence' to back it up.

    I'm not sure myself either, I just love the bottle.
    The gold flowers have a little contrast by black in it.
    Suits the white bottle perfectly in my opinion.

    Height: 32 cm/ 12.6 inch.
    Diameter: 14 cm/ 5.5 inch.

    I hope somebody can tell me more about it.

    I've seen a couple on the next website, kind of in the same 'day & age',
    same style:

    I also like to know if these prices are realistic.
    I bought mines for €125,00.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Have you searched Jean-Baptiste Desvignes?

    I don't know how you might confirm if yours is from that decorating studio, but that seems to be where the money is. You're talking second quarter 19th C for that stuff. Not sure the shape of yours fits that period.

    From its size, I would think yours is more of a decanter than a perfume bottle.

    Decanter indeed. What worries me is that it looks more to be transfer decorated than hand gilded work.

    Yes I have searched on that, but I only find the bottles from the same company as the link. But the one's in the link look tranferprinted to me as well, or am I wrong?

    At least, the gold does.. The blue dots aren't.

    Are there blue dots on this? I don't see them.
