You may be familiar with the style of Bohemian Glass called 'Cut to Clear' of the Art Nouveau period. This is the same technique but, from the spatter, more likely to be of the Art Deco Period. The spatter itself is the Welz décor called 'Red, Yellow, Black'. The 'black' of this décor is actually deep amethyst as you can see on both the Welz basket and the atomizer.

Beautiful!
RL, Thank you.
I have never seen cut ti spatter before, that is just so cool.
your glass collection continues to impress Peggy.
Hope you are staying well and safe.
This is SO unusual! Never seen this technique combined with spatter before...definitely something special!
like racer4 I had never seen a cut decor over spatter, it remaind me whent at school we had to color a white sheet of paper, poor blak ink over and take of some when it was dried .....
Wow! This is such a special piece, Peggy. I have also never seen a ‘cut to spatter’ before, either! It came into the right hands. Thanks for sharing this one!
Cut to spatter new for me also!
Karen, I'm fine and trust you and your family are well and safe too.
Thank you all. It's seems no one else has seen this technique using a spatter décor before either. Reassuring!
Hi, sklo42,
The metal atomzier hardware is marked "France" and was made by the Marcel Franck company in France. They typically used fine crystal and glass from France for their atomizers. With that said, we atomizer collectors have found that a country marking on the hardware does not always mean the glass came from that country. Another technique I see on this is the clear polished bottom which I have seen on other French atomizers. Just curious if you have searched for this within the French glass makers. So far Legras is the only maker I know of using the "spatter/mottled" technique. Nice bottle.
Hello Judy, I haven't looked into it being French though the metal is marked 'FRANCE'. I have Czech glass with a silver rim that has English hallmarks. Also I have several Czech bowls with metal rims stamped EPNS and A. and Co. for Aspry and Co. a London based jeweller established in the 1770's, if I remember correctly. As to the base I believe it was cut and polished to match the treatment of the walls of the bottle. Welz has a specific décor called Red Yellow Black. See Kralik-Glass.com. The décor of the glass would be the deciding factor for me. I would add that what little I know about Legras would suggest that they would not have combined such vivid colours. Thank you for your interest.
