This is a very pretty gilt glass attar perfume bottle. These type of scent bottles are also known as an Oxford Lavender or Throwaway , as they were sold containing a sample of perfume and were intended to be thrown away after use.

The four faceted sides sliced-cut with thumb-cut patterns and heightened with simple gilt decorations.
