This vintage frosted glass bottle with inside painting and artistic purple glass overlay gave me a feeling of art deco, especially with the way the foot is decorated like cut glass. It is a rounded rectangular form tapering towards the base and ending in an oval feet. Thin lines in aubergine glass define the shape of the bottle, with unusual wavy lines on the shoulder, lion like masks with rings on the side and repeating with a thin line on the base and diagonal lines on the foot. The interior of the bottle is painted from the side with lotus flowers and leaves on one side and a landscape of mountain and cliffs near a body of water. That defines Chinese landscape painting - picture of mountain and water. The painting quality is well executed with clean defined lines and careful application of colors.
