 On further research,  I have chosen to add a photo of a Chinese inspired mid century glass perfume bottle example, Bohemian in origin, with similar but not the same design detail to the earlier one that I show.  From the photo, the overall design character of the Bohemian bottles show less specific or finer details in the metalwork and turquoise arrangement than the earlier Chinese counterparts
 Czech glass producers, marketed an array of these inspired bottles with different arrangements in filigree overlay and turquoise decorations, sometimes substituting coral for turquoise, but none had a spoon "stem".
 Much as the flacon design for the perfume "Opium" by YSL was inspired by the 17th jade snuff bottles, the metal filigree work in Victorian China inspired these Bohemian makers.
