Product Description

The Wonderful World of Collecting Perfume Bottles, a book about perfume bottles and fragrances, will tell of a commercial endeavor that would become so significant that no other glass form has produced such a profusion of design, pattern, shape, and elegant presentation. This book features approximately 600 different bottle designs by well-known perfume houses such as Chanel, Coty, Raphael, Hudnut, Guerlain, DOrsay, and many more. Revered bottle makers such as Pochet et du Courval, Lalique, Hoffman, Baccarat, and Sandwich will be seen. There are interesting sections about the Sandwich Glass Companys bottles and French bottles from the 1800s that will enchant even the most sophisticated collector. Also presented are educational charts for patent date identification, bottle marks, articles dating bottles, plus tips and ideas that collectors will find interesting and useful. Readers of The Wonderful World of Collecting Perfume Bottles will become mesmerized by these small vessels created to hold perfume.

1.0 out of 5 stars WAAAAAAY Better Books Out There, March 29, 2006

By	Catty (USA) - See all my reviews

I'm returning this book in disgust. It contains low end examples that even the newest perfume bottle collector would be bored by. In addition, some of it is poorly resaerched and some is just plain WRONG. Even the physical quality of the book is off.. the pages are strangely thin and floppy. Spend the extra money and buy a book by Jackie Jones North or the Lefkowiths...you'll find this book to be neither a good resource nor a good read.

By	G. T. Rees - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful book,however it caters mostly for the American collector.
Regardless of this fact I am constantly referring to it. Well presented and good information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, June 11, 2006

By	Lizzy - See all my reviews

I was so pleased with this book. I am purchasing four more copies for my daughter and nieces. We are all new perfume bottle collectors, and this is just the book we needed to further our education in the field of perfume bottle collecting. "A GREAT BOOK BY A TALENTED AUTHOR."I hope to see more books from Ms. Flanagan in the future.
