I found this a few months ago and it’s one of my favorite bottles. It has a pretty flower design all along the outskirts of the bottle. I’m curious to know more about it. Any info would help thank you for your time!

Women's product bottle. Maybe a toilet water? Kind of large for a perfume or cologne. Nice bottle in great shape! Could of had a glass stopper maybe?

Toilet water? Man... things are getting bizarre lol. The more I learn the weirder things seemed back then to me lol.

I agree on toilet water. Toilet water was not what it sounds like...it was basically a flowery perfume water that was used as an early cologne or bath additive, or to, um de-stinkify the outhouse. Sometimes also called Florida water.
Yea I was just kidding haha. But Thanks for the info. Although I knew it wasn’t what it sounded like I still had no idea what it was lol.

I would agree with there assumptions on what it is. This is why it’s called Florida water. Read the middle paragraph.

So I finally looked into this and most of the bottles I see that held Florida water look like hot sauce bottles. Non of them that I saw on google looked like mine :/ I was hoping that’s what it indeed was because that’s actually really neat and interesting!

I would have to go with a perfume bottle that's not extremely big for a perfume bottle not for person who had money back in those days most perfume bottles I've seen R lot smaller it's just my opinion

Nice art nouveau embossing on that one! I agree with perfume or something similar, it looks like it holds about as much as those Ed Pinaud bottles which were common a few years earlier than this one.
