Rare cologne-sized crystal bottle from Imperial Glass. Imperial Glass was an elegant maker from the early 20th century. They are well-known for the “Candlewick” pattern. The cube pattern is less well-known. This bottle was made in quality crystal in the cube pattern, with an ORIGINAL stopper in the candlewick pattern. Imperial often mixed and matched their patterns.

It reflects the purple, indicating lead crystal. This glass is thick and brilliantly clear. The early goblets in the image contain manganese (a mineral used to replace scarce lead) which reflects yellowish/green. The base of this bottle has a round indention in the center. The indention was intended to hold the bottle in place in a service or vanity set. This bottle was once part of a service or vanity set.
