INFORMATION OFF THE INTERNET........TWO AMERICAN FIRMS, GORHAM AND ALVIN DOMINATED THE SCENE AT THAT TIME, CIRCA 1900s AND THEY CREATED SOME OF THE MOST EXQUISITE SCENT BOTTLES AVAILABLE USING THICK SLABS OF STERLING SILVER OVER GLASS BLANKS FROM THE STEUBEN GLASS WORKS. ANOTHER HONORABLE MENTION IS THE LE PIERRE COMPANY.  ALTHOUGH NOT AS DETAILED AS  CORHEM AND ALVIN, THEY ALSO MADE  BEAUTIFUL SCENT BOTTLES. THESE HIGHER END BOTTLES USUALLY HAVE AN AREA WHERE A MONOGRAM COULD BE ENGRAVED. MOSTLY IN FLOURISHING SCRIPT WHICH IS NOW BECOMING A LOST ART. THERE IS A GOOD POSIBILITY THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL SCENT BOTTLE COULD BE MADE BY ONE OF THE ABOVE  MENTIONED ???
