This bottle is 4 1/2 inches tall. Found it in a box of junk many years ago .
It has a Dragonfly/ Lilypad scene. I can only guess that it was for perfume. Any intel on this would be appreciated .

BEAUTIFUL BLUE!!! AND BOTTLE :)
Well the style is most assuredly art nouveau. Does the metal cling to a magnet? As silver and gold won't respond to a magnet. It is very pretty.
Beautiful bottle!
DangerDana said "silver and gold won't respond to a magnet" : neither silvered brass, copper, pewter.... and other non iron alloy metals!
The "magnet test" only gives an answer: if it is attracted, metal is NOT solid silver or gold.
Thanks DangerDana and kyratango for your input !!!

Thank you Efesgirl ! Glad you could shed a little more light on this bottle . I always wondered if it was imported here . This will get me closer to its orgin. Again Thank You !!
paulmartin - you're welcome! I live in Europe (Netherlands) so if I happen to find another, you'll hear it.
Ahhh The Netherlands .............Someday !!!!!
I just bought this exact bottle at an Estate sale yesterday. Mine still has the Maker on the bottom. Gold glued oval shaped says: Handcrafted for Silvestri, made in Taiwan R.O.C. Hope this helps.
I also found this blog about reproductions. (which this is.) http://cleopatrasboudoir.blogspot.com/2009/07/vintage-silvestri-reproduction-perfume.html
Scrolling down at the bottom, through the pictures of reproduced bottles, is Silvestri and our bottle. Sells for $25.00.
