    I have an opaline glass perfume bottle with hand painted decoration. Going by the shape I believe that this is Victorian era from Bohemia. Bottle measures 8 3/8" tall at the top of the stopper and is 3 5/8" wide at the largest point. The bottom of the stopper look like it may have a maker's marks or perhaps artist signature. Hoping someone can confirm my thoughts or point me in the right direction if I am wrong. thanks DSCF7070 - Copy.JPG DSCF7074 - Copy.JPG DSCF7075 - Copy.JPG

    I've no argument with your thinking on age or origin. Late 19th, early 20th, I call it milk glass, but hey. The mark to the bottom of the stopper is probably to match it with the base, rather than being a maker's mark. It's hand enamelled in gold, rather than painted, if we're being picky. Nice thing.

    Thanks for the replies. I don't know if this is okay to ask or not, but would anyone have an idea of a price to ask for this. These are not something I usually deal in.

    Hm. If I sold it here, at auction, I think the equivalent of 30 to 40 dollars. Depends to a great extent on what you paid for it. ;)

    Thanks, I only paid a couple of dollars for it at a local thrift shop, so not a lot of money invested.

    In that case, start at say, $35 and see where it goes. Nice find.

    Sounds about right.
    This is a good example of a genuine 19th. century antique glass item, hand made in every way, of excellent design, material and execution available for very reasonable money. They ARE getting harder to find every day too.;)
