<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3942077, member: 8363"]I had been resisting buying yet another perfume bottle from the reseller's treasures, but I failed miserably. Sorry! I looked for this bottle for hours and found one in a similar general shape but that was all. I had assumed it had an atomizer because of the screw in metal top, but the one I had found with the same general shape (but without the line indentations) had a screw-in stopper. So I don't know if it had a screw in stopper or atomizer. It is 5 1/2 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches square at the base. There are gold grapes and leaves, and other designs painted on the surface that are worn off in most places. The bottom is heavily scratched from use. I don't know it the photo shows it but there is a polished pontil scar on the bottom, which is concave. Someone used pliers to try and remove the metal top. So is it Victorian Period, as advertised? Also does it involve an atomizer or screw in top? Any thoughts appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]322635[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]322636[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]322637[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]322638[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]322639[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]322640[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]322641[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]322642[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
