Vintage Miniature Clear Glass Perfume Bottle Made in Germany WW1 1900's Antique
antique miniature glass perfume or cologne bottle, measuring approximately 1.75 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide according to the ruler.
Visual Features & Design
Shape & Architecture: The bottle features a flattened, semi-oval flask shape with decorative vertical columns or fluting arching along the upper shoulders, giving it a classic Art Deco or late Victorian aesthetic.
Neck and Closure: It has a short neck wrapped with a decorative golden or amber-colored wire/band, which originally held a small cork, a screw cap, or a glass stopper in place.
Label: A distinct square, metallic gold-foil label is affixed to the front center. While the text on the label is worn and difficult to read completely due to age, these labels typically displayed the manufacturer's logo or the specific fragrance name.
Context & Identification
Many small perfume, scent, or trial-size "German Cologne" bottles from the late 19th to early 20th century featured this type of molded clear glass with ornate shoulders and metallic labels. Since it is marked "Made in Germany," it likely dates from between the 1890s and the 1930s, a period when German glassworks and perfume houses exported a wide variety of pocket-sized novelties and travel vials internationally. 110326
