OOOO awesome collection @schmoozer Any chance you are able to tell if this perfume bottle is Czech?

Has the style. They are typically etched on the base, very lightly.

is there a dauber, or is the stopper base flat?

if flat, could be modern using old molds.

I think there is a chance that the bottom could be more modern, as it does not glow and there is no etching. I think it is stopper is ground flat,  but the uranium glow looks pretty intense for a modern piece. But what is modern? The etching detail is pretty fine/quality--though I am certainly not an expert. Thanks for taking a look!!!

Post Update: After further inspection, it looks like the dauber actually was broken off.

This is both awesome and beautiful!!! I think they must have used a little vaseline yellow in a whiter base to make more of an ivory color. I have a little ivory milk glass pitcher that has the same glow (couldn't believe it when my flashlight hit it the first time!)

The broken dauber says older, no etch on the base says newer. So a hybrid, which occurs sometimes in bottles and decanters.

Totally. My guess is the bottom is definitely newer than the stopper, but I doubt either pieces is newer than 1975 or so. Thanks for asking about the dauber, I wouldn't have thought about that. Do most of your wife's have the dauber intact?
