<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 224582, member: 90&quot;]Based upon the clues I believe you have a really nice example of a 19th century American or English perfume bottle meant to hang from a ladies chatelaine. I think the neck of the bottle was broken at the point where the bottle was connected to the chain.</p><p>The material is commonly known as Slag glass, or Agate (which explains why marbles are sometimes called &quot;Aggies&quot;). Slag glass was made by adding the waste material left over from melting or refining of iron ore. In the 19th century the U.S. and Great Britain were the leading industrial countries and produced an abundance of slag so I think its safe to assume your bottle was made here. I have included an example of an intact bottle.</p><p>If you are not sure what a chatelaine I&#039;ve included a link below.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.earthlyadornments.com/antique-19th-century-chatelaine-ring-italian-glass-perfume-bottle-pdvc458.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.earthlyadornments.com/antique-19th-century-chatelaine-ring-italian-glass-perfume-bottle-pdvc458.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.earthlyadornments.com/antique-19th-century-chatelaine-ring-italian-glass-perfume-bottle-pdvc458.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/the-killer-mobile-device-for-victorian-women/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/the-killer-mobile-device-for-victorian-women/" rel="nofollow">http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/the-killer-mobile-device-for-victorian-women/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
