Art Bottle Appraisal

Art Nouveau Frosted Glass Perfume Bottle with Classical Figures

This is a tall, slender perfume bottle crafted from frosted or satin glass, presenting a translucent white appearance. The bottle features raised, bas-relief designs depicting classical figures, specifically a female figure in flowing drapery holding a small bouquet or object. The details of the relief are enhanced with a reddish-pink staining within the recesses, providing stark contrast against the white frosted glass and highlighting the contours of the figures and their garments. The bottle appears to be cylindrical or slightly tapering towards the neck, which is topped with what seems to be a metal stopper, possibly brass or gilded, showing some signs of patina consistent with age. The overall condition is described as good, suggesting minimal chips, cracks, or significant wear to the glass or the applied coloration. The design aesthetic, particularly the classical figures and the frosting technique combined with color enhancement, suggests an Art Nouveau or possibly early Art Deco period influence, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed molding of the figures and the precise application of the color, indicative of a quality manufactured piece designed for a luxury market. The bottle's visible height suggests it's a decorative as well as functional object.
