Product Description

This magnificent new book explores the history of the perfume bottle, from dusty fragments found in Mesopotamian ruins, through the Middle Ages and the Victorian era, to the most resplendent examples of modern glassmaking. It even includes a Lalique bottle not yet released to the public! Other major bottle designers and manufacturers are discussed-Stiegel, De Vilbliss, Baccarat, and Saint Gobain Desjonquere, to name a few-along with perfumers who were instrumental in the growth of the industry in this century, from Crown and Caron to Elizabeth Arden. In over 400 full-color photographs, this beautiful book shows the perfume containers (including miniatures, solids, advertising fans, and the gigantic display factice) that most entrance today's collectors. Includes current value guide, meticulous documentation, and glorious photographs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fragrance Bottle Masterpieces, April 4, 2007
By Old5anDimer (PIRATE HARBOR) - See all my reviews
JUST OK .. THERE ARE BETTER REFERENCE GUIDES AVAILABLE ON THIS SUBJECT. THERE IS A LOT OF MATERIAL THAT IS NOT COVERED IN THIS "COFFEE TABLE" REFERENCE AND IDENTIFICATION GUIDE. I HAD ACTUALLY EXPECTED A MORE COMPREHENSIVE REFERENCE BOOK SOLEY BASED ON THE REVIEWS I HAD READ.
