DescriptionPerfume atomizer. Glass part is pressed, colorless wafer shape each side half diagonally accordian pleated in reverse of each other. The pleats are frosted. The rubber and metal atomizer has a tassel end. (The 1983 perfume bottle for Diva (Ungaro) must have been inspired by this or vice versa).
