Figural glass perfume bottle or vanity bottle with child and telescope motif

A decorative molded glass figural bottle or vanity item shaped as a seated child or cherub-like figure peering through a telescope mounted on a small tripod. The piece is made from translucent blue, brown, and frosted/opaque glass with hand-painted facial features and clothing details. The design is whimsical and likely intended as a perfume bottle, vanity dresser accessory, or novelty decorative collectible rather than a functional scientific instrument. The craftsmanship suggests mass-produced mid-century novelty glass with molded detail and applied coloration.

Figural vanity bottles and novelty glass objects were popular in the mid-20th century, reflecting postwar consumer tastes for whimsical decorative items. Pieces like this are collectible for their playful design and display appeal, especially when intact and with original stoppers or labels.
