Resemblance between central rosette's "towers" and small-plants' "containers".
#27
I found this while tyding up. Some resemblance? I have another one with a "foot" somewhere, but more tyding need Wink

It is a "Muskal", a bottle holding a small amount of rose oil or rose water from the Bulgarian rose valley. Alas little is to be found out about the very typical shape of the bottle. The cultivation of damascene oil rose started in the 16th century, when Bulgaria was under ottoman rule. 
The method of oil extraction is much older and comes from Persia. The word Muskal is also used as a weight unit for the oil, which besides being a base for perfume production, has many medicinal qualities.
