IRice Czech Cut Crystal Perfume Bottle

$30.00

This lovely cut crystal bottle with faceted stopper and starburst base possesses many of the characteristics of the Bohemian cut crystal work imported for Irwing W. Rice & Co. of New York in the early to mid-1930s, a name often seen and referred to as IRice. According to a 1933 advertisement included in Jacquelyne Y. Jones-North's "Czechoslovakian Perfume Bottles and Boudoir Accessories," these cut glass toiletries bottles were originally filled with smelling salts.

With tapered sides that are smooth on the lower half and notched at the corners, the upper portion of the bottle and the faceted stopper are both cut to catch and beautifully reflect light. There are a few tiny nicks on the facet edges and a couple of small chips on the stopper base, not detected with the stopper in place. I speculate the remnants on the underside give hint of what once was an IRice label.

Measures 3-1/2" high (2-3/4" to the bottle rim) and 1-7/8" in diameter.
