[PB20] (Size: 1 3/8"D
x 4 1/4"H)
This perfume bottle is made of African Blackwood for the base
with Olivewood cap shaped as an onion-dome, or kokoshnik,
with African Blackwood finial with pernambuco kokoshnik top
finial. The base is cut with the 1/8" reeding bit in a
stacked pattern resembling bamboo. The base relates to the
waistband sharing a dentil molding pattern. The Oriental
influences on this piece are quite strong, with a finial shape
mirroring the bulbous finials such as are found on the minarets
of the Taj Mahal. An improved O-ring coupler securely holds the
glass bottle liner in the base, yet allows for easy removal to
fill with fragrance.
