Glass Perfume Atomizer Appraisal

Vintage Fluted Glass Perfume Atomizer with Net-Covered Bulb

This item is a vintage-style perfume atomizer, characterized by its elegant design and functional components. The main body consists of a clear glass bottle with a fluted or shell-like design, giving it a stylized, possibly Art Deco or mid-20th-century aesthetic. The glass appears to have a slight blue or aqua tint, which often indicates older production methods or specific glass formulations. The bottle features a scalloped base and vertical ridges that create a visually appealing texture and refract light. Attached to the bottle is a brass or gold-toned metal fitting, which connects to the atomizer mechanism. The pump component is a textured, spherical bulb, likely made of rubber or a similar compressible material, covered in a fine, dark grey or blue-grey netting. This netting provides both a decorative element and likely a practical one to protect the bulb. The metal top piece appears to have a pointed, elongated cap or plunger, also in a brass or gold tone. The craftsmanship seems of decent quality, with no immediately apparent chips or cracks in the glass. The metal components show some signs of age-appropriate patina or minor discoloration, consistent with a vintage item. The netting on the bulb also appears intact, though its exact material can't be definitively determined from the image. Its overall condition suggests it has been well-preserved for its age.
