DescriptionSquat, bottle with rectangular side profiles and a square top profile. The pressed body has finely detailed faceting, and the four corners are rounded sections. Short, cylindrical neck with collar. The flat square-shaped stopper is taller than the bottle but the square is the same size as the square of the bottle’s body; made of transparent colorless glass is smooth on one surface and pressed on the other surface to look all-over facet cut for prismatic effects. The stopper is short, cylindrical, and unpolished with a very short and unpolished cylindrical tip for an applicator. Two types of stamp appear on the bottom: one instance of a circle within which says “Made in Czechoslovakia” on three lines; two instances of an oval within which says “Made in Czechoslovakia” but is not completely visible, looks like Czechoslovakia curves along the bottom edge and Made in is straight across the top.ProvenanceFaith W.
