<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 4372099, member: 88&quot;]It is a pretty little bottle but I think it is a later bottle. The lack of wear on the bottom is a clue &amp; also the construction of the dauber.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I am assuming you see no acid etched mark on the bottom. Try taking it to a sunny window or under a bright light &amp; you might have to wiggle it around a little. You can also try breathing on the bottom. Sometimes your warm breath makes the mark stand out. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the construction of the stopper I will need a close-up to be sure. During our perfume bottle collectors group (IPBA) convention this past May we had a seminar on Czech bottles. We learned that when the old daubers were constructed the glassmakers applied the thin clear glass rod by applying a very tiny dab of the hot glass &amp; then pushed the glass piece into the dab. Obviously, this takes time which when you are trying to mass-produce something is not a good thing. So they now insert the glass rod into the stopper. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will try to remember to post a photo of one of my old stoppers &amp; a newer model tomorrow so you can see what I mean.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
