Octagonal scent bottle in Murano blown glass, hand-painted with a delicate decor of foliage and flowers

Octagonal scent bottle in Murano blown glass, hand-painted with a delicate decor of foliage and flowers. The glass is not perfectly transparent as it must be for this period. Surely the cap is a cork replacement as they usually have a metal stopper.
