This is an attractive and highly collectable perfume bottle made by John Deacons.
It is not signed but there are three of Deacon's thistle canes within the glass.
The ground of the base section of the bottle is a vibrant cobalt blue colour. There is a large thistle cane in the centre and this is surrounded by a rosette of multi-coloured canes. The base then has three concentric rings of predominately white millefiori canes getting smaller as they get to the outside edge of the bottle.
The bottle has a flared neck and inside the neck is a hollow compartment or large bubble where your perfume would go - this also has a thistle cane in it and a rosette and ring of millefiori canes on the base.
The stopper is original to the bottle. It is also has the cobalt blue ground. It also has the central thistle cane with a rosette of rainbow coloured canes. Again, it has another three concentric rings of millefiori canes. The stopper is shaped like a little button mushroom.
These little perfume bottles are beautifully made and Deacons must have had exceptional skills to have created such a remarkable bottle.
It measures 4 inches from the base to the top of the stopper. The diameter of the base section is 2 1/2 inches. Unpacked it weighs: 475 grams.
It is in perfect condition with no damage of any kind.
It will cost £5.50 with Royal Mail Recorded post. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
HISTORY: Deacons Glass is a family-run studio that is still situated in Crieff, Scotland. The town has a long history of art glass manufacturing starting over 50 years ago in 1964 with Strathearn Glass, followed by Perthshire paperweights in 1968, J Glass in 1978 and finally Deacons Glass in 1980. John started as an apprentice with Strathearn Glass in 1967 but within a year was asked by the manager Stuart Drysdale to join his Perthshire Paperweights start-up team. It was here that John gained a thorough grounding in all aspects of running a glass studio.
