content: This is a glass perfume bottle (a) and stopper (b). The clear glass bottle (a) is diamond shaped. It has a short slender round neck that leads to a sloping diamond-shaped shoulder with vertical ridges in the glass. The body of the bottle then divides into four faux ‘columns’, one at each corner of the diamond-shape. Each column has its own flaring foot. The clear glass stopper (b) is tall and fits into the neck of the bottle. It has a tall, narrow fluted fan projecting from the plug. The fan is asymmetrical with some of the fan spines longer than other. Two of the fan spines have horizontal ridges on them.
