A bell-shaped Czechoslovakian perfume bottle with a domed lid and a gold-encrusted floral design hand-painted on one side — the kind of craftsmanship that defined Bohemian glassmaking at its peak.
Made between the World Wars, when Czechoslovakia dominated the European and American market for fine cut, cast, and blown perfume bottles, this piece was exported empty, meant to be filled with a fragrance of the new owner's choosing. Please note before purchasing: there is a very large chip on the rim at the bottle's mouth, with a sharp edge that can cut if not handled carefully. It's priced accordingly — in good condition, a bottle like this would run $150 or more — but we wanted a collector to have the chance to give it a home rather than let it go to waste.
A piece for the experienced collector who can see past the damage to the craftsmanship beneath, or for careful display rather than daily handling.
By purchasing this item, you acknowledge the sharp chip described above, agree to use and handle this bottle at your own risk, confirm you are 18 years of age or older, and agree that Antigo Trunk is not liable for any damage or injury caused by this product.
