[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4534495, member: 2844"]It is a kohl bottle, for powdered kohl. People have been known to use kohl bottles for perfume, but I would advise against it with bottles that have some kind of adhesive, like yours, or are made of organic materials, for instance bone. It is MOP. Indian kohl bottles are mostly of either natural/organic materials or metal. The lovely sheen on your bottle is that of MOP. Looks 1960s, maybe brought back from the Hippie Trail. I am a kohl bottle collector, and I prefer it like that.:happy: The ship is gorgeous, with all that detail. It could be plated, but maybe have it tested for silver?[/QUOTE]
