Sommerso perfume bottle, Fifth Avenue brand by Jay Co.

This perfume bottle is 4.5" high x 3.5" diameter on the flat sides x 3.75" on the round sides, about 3 lbs. It is unmarked and missing the stopper. The bottom is ground flat and polished. It is fairly complex, with a purple and a green sommerso layer, internal lines and lines applied to the outside but melted into the body. There are many small bubbles in this piece. The flat grinds on the side show off the lines melted into the body. GW find today. No idea of where/when/who made it. I found a second piece at GW today, as well, but it is a vase and quite different. My images are not great, so I may redo them.

This style and the other piece I found are quite common on ebay. The red and amber one does not show any wear because the stopper had a plastic collar on it. Guessing both of these were part of some U.S. product line (Saks Fifth Avenue) which required producing these bottles in relatively large quantities. They look a bit too nice to be Chinese but they are. I wonder how the Chinese can mass produce their glass like this?

These bottles were imported in 2004 by Jay Companies under their 5th Avenue brand. Some of these have survived with the original packing intact, which contained a URL to the company web site and other information. Chinese maker not known.
