[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 4313849, member: 88"]Thanks for the information on ormolu. It may not be accurate but the words ormolu & filigree are what the collectors search for when looking for these items. If you want your items to be found then you have to use the words they use in their search. Cleopatra's Boudoir is not a company that produces perfume bottles. She simply hosts this site about perfume bottles on the internet. I think the C on the glass is more or less a monogram for the original owner. As I said earlier & as is shown on the internet site there is all manner of this type item that could be purchased. For example one of Matson's big lines was a Dogwood with a bird. You could get perfume bottles, vanity mirrors in multiple sizes, trinket or powder jars, & jewelry caskets in multiple sizes. In fact, I have a large 6" Matson jewelry casket in the Dogwood line that I got at the auction a few weeks back. I finally got it cleaned up last night & was very pleased to see that it is in wonderful condition. It was so dirty that there was some doubt until last night. :happy::happy: I am glad [USER=1067]@Houseful[/USER] mention Guildcrest because I forgot about that one. :happy:[/QUOTE]
