Beautiful antique sun-purple/amethyst pressed glass perfume bottle base, dating to approximately 1900–1920. The light purple color comes naturally from manganese in the glass reacting to sunlight over time — a desirable feature for collectors of early American glass.
This bottle has an ornate faceted design with raised textured panels and a ground neck opening. Please note: the original stopper is missing, and this sale is for the base only. Perfect for display, collecting antique purple glass, or as a replacement base for a vanity bottle.
