    The first two bottles are a pair - mostly metal filagree with a slender glass tube in the middle. I don't know how to describe them to do research, so I thought I would ask here. I waited until they were half priced, before I bought them, as I was unsure about whether they were new or old, and there was a high price on them. They are 6 1/2 inches tall.
    The second and third bottles are unmarked and probably new. Any thoughts on them would be helpful too. The pink one with the white blobs is 5 inches tall and the purple one is small at two and half inches tall.
    Any help will be most appreciated.

    Try gold ormulu / Hollywood regency for the first two...

    Can't say for sure, but the pink one with the long stopper looks like a Murano or "Murano Style" art glass perfume bottle.

    Never having heard of Hollywood Regency in my life ( not the first american description I have discovered here)


    Hollywood Regency, sometimes called Regency Moderne, is a design style that describes both interior design and landscape architecture

    +1 for Murano

    Pink is more Mdina than Murano.

    characterized by the bold use of color and contrast often with metallic and glass accents meant to signify both opulence and comfort.

    Silvestri makes nice glass ornaments. I have a couple for my Christmas tree.

    I agree, although the stopper looks different from the ones I know.
    Kiko, you could have a Maltese bottle in spite of not being able to go to Malta right now.:) If you can't go to Malta, Malta will come to you.:happy:

    Never heard of Hollywood regency. Great search term. Found the same base with a different top.

    Me too. Thanks for researching the term. I never equated Hollywood with royal, but it seems that they did.

    The term Hollywood Regency was or is thrown around quite a bit when selling real gold Culver glasses.

    You're welcome! I don't know where the dealers come up with these terms.. it drives us purist decorative arts historians crazy.. but you have to go with the flow.

    Perfect. That's the puppy. It seems they used that tassel and color in others. I paid $2.25 for it, so I didn't lose anything. They priced it low because they couldn't get the stopper out, but I know how because I hang out with you guys. :D:D:D:D

    I can see some star struck woman buying these very impractical containers (Holding only a small amount of liquid considering the size of the tube and the dabber), and placing them on her dressing table and thinking herself very elegant.
