This perfume atomizer is a gorgeous piece of cut glass. I had this piece appraised by GArnone of Cleopatra's Boudoir, her initial thought was vaseline glass, however I tested it with a blacklight and it does not fluoresce so we agree that it is likely flashed green glass. I was finally able to see the logo on the inside rim clearly and it reads T and M with a representation of the mushroom atomizer in the center of the letters.The bottle weighs 15.5 ounces. She mentions the condition issues in her appraisal listed below.
