Decorative etched glass bottle or vase
Estimated Value
$40-$150
The object appears to be a dark brown or amber glass vessel with an ornate etched or molded decorative scene around the neck and upper body. The decoration includes landscape-like motifs with foliage, possibly trees or grasses, and a stylized script or monogram-like mark near the lower neck. The form suggests either a bottle, decanter, or vase. The finish and decoration are consistent with decorative art glass or souvenir glass rather than fine cut crystal. The exact maker and function cannot be confirmed from this single close-up image.
