Vintage Perfume Bottle Appraisal: Identifying Age & Value
Question
both perfume bottle
I have two vintage perfume bottles that I can't find anything online or in books that look like them to get an idea of how old they are and what they are worth. I bought them at estate sales. One has a gold gilt top with sanded glass base that fits tightly in the bottle. The base has gold gilt and etched glass in a leaf design with one gold line on the bottom and two on the top. It is approximately 5 3/4" tall by 1 7/8" round. The top alone is 2 1/4". The other is very small about 1 3/4" tall and 1/2" round. It has a heavy gold top with a ball on top rubber on stopper and it screw into the glass base. The glass base is plain. Here is my site with a few pictures on it. http://flutterbysandflowers.com/perfumebottles.aspx I would appreciate any info or value on these that you can give!! Thank you so much for taking the time to help:)
