Hey folks...I believe this is an Art Deco snuff bottle that I have in my collection.  Any help in identifying it would be great!  It can be seen here with the information about it:

Ariselion,

I have seen a number of bottles with this design a minor auctions houses and on ebay only over the last 3 years or so.  Though I do not have such a bottle in my collection, they are reportedly to made of glass and are being sold as a snuff bottle being of Chinese origin.  As you indicated it does have a Art Deco feel or what I believe is a very contemporary design.  Since I have only seen the design in resent years, I would speculate these are quite modern (21 century) in origin.  Hopefully some other collectors here may have better information and a bottle observation attributed with  more age.
