This is a vintage, possibly 1960s, faceted glass bottle topper with controlled bubble.
I have seen a lot of stoppers over the years and this one is unique. The process of including a controlled bubble is called bolle or bullicante. This particular stopper only has 1 bubble, right in the center. The coolest thing about it is because the stopper is faceted, when you turn it, the single bubble multiplies into four bubbles, creating a geometric pattern.
So, it's also a conversation piece!
Condition - excellent with some roughness to the bottom of the stopper.
It is POSSIBLE, this stopper was created in the 1960s by Jozef Hospodka, a Czech glassmaker. The stopper was in an auction lot of other glass pieces including 3 other pieces of Czech glass, one of which appears to be a Jozef Hospodka piece or made from the factory he worked at. It is known that Hospodka created bullicante pieces.
