About this object

The bottle is tear shaped with a long thin neck. On each side are eight tiny turquoises which are embedded as the centers of scattered flowers with stems which are engraved. The screw cap is shaped like a parasol with a scalloped edge. At the end of each of the eight sections of the cap is a tiny ruby. There is also one in the center. At the top, attached to the screw lid, is a rod ending in a bead.
