I received these small glass bottles with glass stoppers from my aunt, who was from Slovakia. She had many pieces of glass and crystal that the family didn't want at her passing so I have taken them. I am in love with the paintings of the children on the dark green glass. I know nothing of them but the sticker states Bohemia Glass, Czechoslovakia. They have led me to this and other collector sites seeking info on them but now I may start collecting myself. I see some amazing work here!
welcome to CW : ) this type of decorated glass is known as 'Mary Gregory' style and fairly varied in execution. Here's one good site for researching glass with a brief on 'Mary Gregory' style glass:

This is more recent than the Victorian period - the sticker suggests 1960s or later - someone on here may be able to be more precise. The Mary Gregory style has been produced for over 100 years. I know someone who only collects this stuff. He prizes older uncoloured figural pieces.
