Vintage Czech Art Deco alexandrite (neodymium) glass perfume bottle, "Clio Collection," Czech Republic.
This perfume bottle is made from neodymium glass, which shifts color depending on the light source — appearing lavender/purple under most lighting and shifting toward a bluer tone under different light, as shown across the photos.
The stopper is an oversized, fan-shaped design with a scalloped (sawtooth) top edge and a frosted, intaglio-carved lily of the valley motif running the length of the front panel. The stopper base flares into a stepped Art Deco fan shape where it meets the neck.
The bottle base is a rounded, stepped Art Deco form with ribbed detailing along the sides. The underside is marked with the original foil label, reading "Hand Made / Clio Collection / Czech Republic."
Excellent vintage pre-owned condition overall, with the following specifics noted for transparency:
- Base/underside: Visible light surface scuffing and fine scratches across the stepped ridges on the underside of the base (consistent with age and display handling) — see close-up photo. No chips or cracks found on the base edges.
- Stopper fit: The ground glass stopper stem shows the expected frosted/ground finish and seats into the neck collar; stopper and bottle neck show matching wear consistent with an original, unswapped pair.
- Label: Original foil maker's sticker is intact and legible on the base, reading "Hand Made / Clio Collection / Czech Republic" in gold lettering. The foil shows minor creasing/waviness but no peeling or missing letters.
- Glass body: No chips, cracks, or flea bites detected on the stopper's carved edges or the fan-shaped silhouette. Sawtooth top edge of the stopper is complete with no flat spots or breaks.
- Color-change effect: Confirmed — glass shifts from lavender/purple tones to a bluer cast depending on light source (visible across photos taken in different lighting).
Approximate Dimensions:
- Height: ~6.5 in (16.5 cm), stopper inserted
- Base width: ~3.25 in (8.3 cm)
