Irice is a well known maker of perfume Bottles, and the bottle looks like something they would of made.  However they used mostly paper labels and without marks, one can only spectulate.

    Yes, I have sold 2 Irice Items that was Vanity Jars,  They tend to make Vanity and Perfume bottles.  Most are made within the last few years I believe.  Not sure about the history of Irice Glass, maybe that will be something to look into later.

Found this little tidbit about Irice

Irving W. Rice & Co., Inc.
Founded in 1905, Irving W. Rice & Company was launched in New York City as a seller of head vases, perfume bottles, salt and peppershakers, crystal accessories, and table crystal gifts. It flourished under the
direction of Irving W. Rice as president and Lou D. Bloom as sales manager. Although Mervelle G. Rice took over as president in the 50s, the company continued to import the same items—often from Japan—throughout its history. The company used both paper labels and transfer marks and its head vases often featured the wording "An Irice import" or "An Irice product."

    The only pieces I had had Foil or Paper labels, The only way I know what they were, I have a couple piece I think are Irice but unsure.  They all have the Modern Deco look to them.
