The result is this: a perfectly proportioned lead crystal perfume bottle with a faceted geometric stopper that catches the light like it has a personal vendetta against shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is a wide, low pyramid — square at the base with chamfered corners, tapering to a narrow neck with a neat collar ring. The glass has developed the characteristic pale blue tint of aged lead crystal, the kind of colour that doesn't exist in nature but looks completely at home on a dressing table or bathroom shelf. The stopper is a chunky hexagonal prism, hand-cut with flat facets on top and sides, ground to fit the neck precisely — the frosted ground-glass stem still grips perfectly after 80+ years, which is either a testament to craftsmanship or sheer stubbornness. Probably both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo maker's mark — typical of this type of Continental or British lead crystal from the period. The base shows the characteristic pontil mark of hand-blown glass. Light surface wear consistent with age and use — honestly noted, barely visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead crystal perfume bottle with original faceted stopper, c.1930–1950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePale blue tint — characteristic of aged lead crystal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare pyramid body with chamfered corners and collar neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChunky hexagonal faceted stopper, hand-cut, ground-glass stem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStopper fits perfectly — ground-glass seal intact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo maker's mark — typical of period lead crystal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight surface wear consistent with age — honestly noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 × 7.5 × 7.5 cm, 283 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEurope, c.1930–1950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWARNING: This bottle contains no perfume, but it will make your dressing table look like it belongs in a 1940s film noir.
