Antique Green Glass with Silver Overlay Perfume Bottle

What we have here is one of my favorites. It has my favorite color (green) and is a small bottle on top of that. The silver overlay just makes it that much nicer. This is a perfume bottle and I believe it is from the mid to late 1800s based on some of the research I have done. I am not an expert though so if you know better please let me know, I'm still learning. I had one that was a little bigger then this one. It was a black bottle when I bought it online (due to being dirty and tarnished), and when I got it didn't know exactly what it was. Cleaned it up, did a little research and was surprised at what it was.  I did keep it for awhile but did eventually sell it. I didn't want to get rid of it but when I saw what it was going to sell for I had no problem  ha ha.

So I was pretty happy when I saw this one for sale since I did want to replace the one I used to have. Especially at the price that was being asked. I think I like this one a little more since it is actually smaller. I added my fingers and a dollar bill in a couple of the pics below to show the size better. I tried to get decent pics but the lighting was not what I wanted, but still not bad. Enjoy!
