    phpRSefkxAM.jpg phpsJsOE5AM.jpg I found this at a Thrift years ago,looks like it had a top of some kind, maybe a sterling ink cap? The top has a rib inside where the lid would fit. Its crystal,weighs 1 1/4pounds and measures 3" X 3". Thanks for any info. :) If an ink well,where would I find a replacement top?

    The bottom has an almost round 15/8" polished base.

    It is a perfume bottle minus the dauber. These were very popular c.1970s / 1980s & were made in Japan, Czechoslovakia, Germany & Austria.

    Hi Shiloh,
    What is the measurement of the opening on your perfume? I have a set of "go with" tops that might fit. Here is a picture of one of the sets.
    I think I have 5 or 6 with different size bottoms. 004.JPG

    If you don't find a top, it can always be used as a short-stem-single-flower/bud vase. ;)

    Thank you Greg, I would be happy to buy a replacement if you find one :)

    Hi,
    Is it stable enough to turn upside down and use it as a paperweight? I would put a tiny figure or plastic flower upside down in it so it shows upright.

    Yes it is very stable and it does not rock either. Great idea,maybe I can find a blown glass figurine, I have a few somewhere in this hoard. When I do it I will post it. :) It even has a lip where I can cut a piece of heavy plastic and Krazy glue the little figurine onto then glue to the lip.

    php9jXm1KAM.jpg OK, could not find a glass figure small enough. I did find a wooden soldier and I then tried turquoise stones. phpORo7qmAM.jpg phpgheUHqAM.jpg Looking through the top the stone kind of looks like earth?
