A Pair of Mary Gregory Perfume Bottles – 20th Century Bohemia

This charming pair of cranberry glass perfume bottles represents the celebrated Bohemian tradition of glass artistry. Crafted in the early 20th century, they are decorated using the Mary Gregory technique, a 19th-century innovation known locally as Quarkmanl (“white people”), which features delicate white enamel paintings applied to hand-blown glass.

Each bottle displays a unique enamel scene: one shows a girl gently holding a flower, while the other depicts a boy blowing bubbles. These playful childhood moments, set among fine foliage, reflect the nostalgic and whimsical character that defines Mary Gregory glass. Their vivid cranberry hues and original faceted stoppers add to their vintage charm, making them a delightful addition to any vanity or display collection.
