HATTIE CARNEGIE, FIGURAL, PERFUME BOTTLE. c.1937-1940s

Original gold cord around the bottle neck. The stopper is the head. The name "hattie carnegie" in lower case, raised lettering, is at the base of the bottle. There are gilded accents on the row of curls surrounding the face, around the bottle rim and on the lettering at the base of the bottle. There is a gold-printed paper label on the bottom of the bottle with the maker's name and fluid content (3 oz.). No markings on the bottom. This is the largest of 4 sizes made for perfume.

RARE, LELONG, "ELLE.ELLE…", WITH BOX, PERFUME BOTTLE, c.1937
From Joan's collection. This rare Lucien Lelong bottle was designed for the fragrance "Elle.Elle." The bottle is empty. It is flask-shaped with a rectangular stopper. The front is molded in relief with Lelong’s signature Ls. The bottom is faintly molded: "LUCIEN – LELONG, PARIS – FRANCE." The silver foil label on the front is printed with white lettering. The box has a flip top and drop-down front edged with gold paper. The front is embossed with the signature Ls. The cover interior is embossed with the maker's name. The fragrance name is embossed inside the drop-down front. The black textured paper on the bottom of the box is embossed: "No.10, TOLMER PARIS, MODELE DEPOSE." No fluid content indicated on the bottle or box. This is a hard bottle to find with a label and box.

Note: This bottle is similar in design, but not exactly like the Taglio bottle. The Elle.Elle, bottle was slightly modified in 1945 for the Taglio fragrance. The difference between the two bottles – the Taglio bottle has a molded frame, in relief, around the Ls – this bottle does not.

Size: 2 5/8" high x 2 3/4" wide x 7/8" deep. Box: 3" high x 4 1/2" wide x 2" deep. Condition: Bottle and stopper – excellent, no chips or cracks. Label – excellent.

BACCARAT – D'ORSAY, TROPHEE, PERFUME BOTTLE, c.1935
This perfume bottle was made by Baccarat (#757) for D'Orsay for the fragrance "Trophee." The bottle is unsigned. Baccarat did not systematically start signing their work until 1936. The bottle is empty. It is pillow-shaped and has a white die-cut label. The white stopper bears the D'Orsay coat of arms. The bottom of the bottle is highly polished and has an etched number that appears to be "88" – the same number is etched on the bottom of the stopper neck. This bottle is difficult to find with the label unstained and intact, especially after having been opened. The label was easily damaged by dripping perfume. This bottle was made in 3 sizes. This is the medium size. Fluid content is unknown.

The faceted ball stopper is entirely gilded. The bottle is almost completely gilded (including the bottom) with the exception of the vertical gilded stripes on the sides. A black enameled deco design decorates the front and back (different on each side) – with black enameling outlining the edges of the bottle. The name "Babani, Paris, France" is molded on the bottom – the word "Depose" is enameled in black. The fragrance and maker's names are enameled in black around the bottle neck.

J753
LUCIEN LELONG, MON IMAGE, DECO PERFUME BOTTLE, c.1933
From Joan's collection. This very deco bottle was made by Lucien Lelong for the fragrance "Mon Image." The bottle is empty. The massive stopper/overcap is designed as one piece – the actual stopper neck is hollow. The top of the stopper is polished and impressed (intaglio style) with Lelong's 2 signature "L" s within a square. The massive bottle is designed with chamfered corners and beveled layers. A black-printed gold foil label is set into an impression on the front of the bottle. Below the label is a gold cord wrapped around the bottle bearing a tiny seal impressed with the signature "L"s. The bottom is polished and has a brown-printed paper label. This is a very heavy bottle for its size – more than half a pound (10.8 oz.). It may possibly be crystal, but I cannot guarantee it. Wonderful deco bottle.
Size: 3 3/8" high x just under 2" square. Condition: Excellent – no chips or cracks; tiny flake on bottle rim; 2 tiny flakes on edge of hollow stopper neck; excellent front label, no tears, some age spots; partial bottom label. Fluid content is not visible on bottom label. However, using a 1.5 oz. liquor jigger glass, I can confirm that it holds that amount of water, with some room to spare at the top! See additional photos.

The atomizer fitting is gold-colored metal and is impressed on the top – "Made in France, Step, Paris, Breveté France et Etranger" (Breveté, etc. translates to: "Patented France and Abroad.") This is a very heavy bottle for its size – slightly more than half a pound (8.6 oz.)!

The large round decal label on the bottom is printed in gold with the fragrance and maker's names, fluid content of .25 oz., and No.1.

J816
LUBIN, AU SOLEIL, LIZARD PERFUME BOTTLE, c.1909
Lubin made this unusual long-neck perfume bottle for the fragrance "Au Soleil." The bottle is empty. The bottle and stopper are frosted glass with gray enameling.

The bottom of the bottle is very, very faintly marked in raised lettering with the maker's name and an etched number 14. The base of the stopper neck is also etched with the same number. The number on the bottle has been lightly enhanced in pencil for viewing. It is difficult to see but it is there. This bottle is the larger of 2 sizes. The smaller size has the fragrance name gilded on the top of the flared base. This larger size was never marked with the name. Yes -- the bottle neck is a wee bit tilted. Regardless, it's still a great bottle.

EXCEEDINGLY RARE -- COTY, SALESMAN'S SAMPLE TESTER BOX, 12 PERFUME BOTTLES, c.Mid-1920s to Mid-1930s
This salesman's sample box of 12 different Coty fragrances is something you may not see again!

Judging from the latest fragrance introduction date (Paris, 1926), the set may date from the mid-1920s to mid-1930s. The box is black, with a faux leather-grain and has a snap closure. The cover interior is lined with brown velvet. The box frame and compartments may be made of wood(?). The compartments are covered with fabric. The dark green-printed labels were designed by Rene Lalique. Eight bottles are acid-etched on the bottom, 4 bottles are molded on the bottom, with the word -- FRANCE. None of the bottles have been opened. The exteriors have not been cleaned. The bottles are not arranged alphabetically by fragrance name in the box (as found). Ten bottles are empty, two have some perfume. Interestingly, there is one undocumented fragrance (not identified in Ken Leach's "The Reference Guide for Commercial Perfumes 1860-1960"). See list of fragrances below.

This is not a counter tester. Counter tester bottles were displayed, upright, in wood boxes that held 12 bottles (sometimes 2 each of 6 different fragrances). Some counter testers were brass and held 6 bottles, upright.

Fragrances
Ambre Antique(25% full); Chypre; Emeraude(50% full); Jasmin de Gorse; La Rose Jacqueminot; L'Effleurt; L'Or; L'Origan; Muguet; Paris; Styx; Violette Pourpre (undocumented fragrance).

Sizes: Bottles: 2 1/8" high x 1 1/8" wide x 9/16" deep;
Box: 4 3/8" wide x 9 1/2" long x 1" deep.
Overall condition: EXCELLENT.

THE HOUSE FOR MEN, HIS AFTER SHAVE LOTION, RED ENAMEL PERFUME BOTTLE, c.1947
From Joan's collection. This handsome-looking gentleman, with a mischievous smile and a winking eye, was distributed by The House for Men, Inc., Chicago, Illinois (c.1947). The bottle is completely enameled and molded in the form of a man's torso wearing a suit. The word "HIS" is molded between the lapels on the suit. This bottle was made in 2 different-colored enamels - burgundy and red (plus a gilded version). This is the RED version (the bottle looks darker in the photos than it actually is). It contains the original after shave lotion. The bottle weighs slightly over 1 lb. - it may be full! I believe the bottle was never opened. I have not removed the stopper. The bottom is molded - "Pat.No. 14357[6 or 8?]." The gold foil label with red background indicates the fluid content as 7 1/2 oz. The ivory-colored head stopper is hard plastic attached to a metal peg.

Size: 6 1/4" high x 3 1/4" (at shoulders) x 2" deep (at base). Condition: MINT - doesn't get any better! Of note - the stopper on these bottles is very often found cracked and stained from fragrance -- this stopper is perfect! See additional photos.

J885
DE RAYMOND, ART DECO PERFUME BOTTLE, c.1930s-1940s
This beautiful art deco perfume bottle was designed by Andre Jollivet for DeRaymond, a French company. This bottle was used for various DeRaymond fragrances. The bottle is empty. The hexagonal stopper and bottle are deeply molded with gilded accents. The bottom has multiple stampings -- molded in raised lettering "Made in France" and "A.Jollivet." It is also acid etched - "Made in France - A.Jollivet" with an etched squatty-shaped bottle in between the words "Made in France" and "A.Jollivet." The etching is difficult to see - it will take some good light and manipulation of the bottle. Displays beautifully. Heavy bottle -- weighs 1/2 pound.

Size: 4 3/4" high x 2 3/8" wide (corner-to-corner); 2 1/8" wide (flat sides). Condition: Excellent. No chips or cracks on bottle or stopper; excellent gilding. The gilding on a panel with the inverted "V" appears to be worn on the outer edges of the "V" -- near the base of the bottle. It is not wear, since it is not in an area where the gilding would have been worn off by handling. It is a production flaw where the gilding was unevenly applied -- it is only on that one panel. See additional photos.

J887
SCHIAPARELLI, SLEEPING, CANDLE PERFUME BOTTLE BY BACCARAT, c.1938
This Schiaparelli, "Sleeping", candle-shaped bottle with gilded accents is a collector classic. The impressive bottle is empty now but originally contained 4 oz. of perfume.

The bottom of the bottle is deeply concave with the Baccarat logo etched in the very center. There is a gilded number 49 below the logo. There is also a double-digit etched number (not distinguishable) -- both numbers are on the bottom of the bottle and the base of the stopper neck. The bottom is also molded "Bottle Made in France" and "Schiaparelli" -- her name is very faintly molded.

Size: 8" high x 4" wide (approx., at widest point). Condition: Excellent -- no chips or cracks on bottle or stopper. Gilding on stopper, excellent. Gilding on bottle rim, worn. Remainder of gilding on bottle, excellent. Label, very good, small nibbles to foil (difficult to see), very tiny tip missing on right side. Could not photograph Baccarat logo or etched numbers on the bottom of the bottle due to reflections and deeply concave center. See additional photos.

J889
L.T. PIVER, ROCROY, PERFUME BOTTLE, c.1925
This hard-to-find deco-style perfume bottle was made by L.T. Piver for the fragrance “Rocroy” (c.1925). The bottle is empty. It is flask-shaped, with a slightly-pillowed front and back.

Baccarat made the larger size of this bottle. Although this smaller version does not have the Baccarat logo it, also, may have been made by them.

Size: 4 3/8” high x 1 1/4”(at base). 2 1/4” wide (at widest point). Condition: Bottle – mint, no chips or cracks; mint gilding. Gilding on stopper – has age wear and small surface flake on bottom of neck. Label – very worn and difficult to read but intact.

This perfume is old and should not be used. The bottle is frosted with clear accents. There is onion skin wrapped around the bottle neck, and has the original gold foil hang-tag printed in black on both sides. The large gold foil label on the bottom of the bottle is also printed in black and indicates this bottle once contained 1/4 oz. of perfume. The bottom is molded in raised lettering -- Mary Chess, Bottle Made in France.

The hang-tag reads:
May the fountain at the Plaza – one of New York’s most beautiful landmarks – bring back to you The Memory of an Evening, Souvenir d’un Soir.

Size: 3 1/2” high x 2” wide -- this is the smaller of 2 sizes. Condition: MINT. Pomona’s head feels rough to the touch, due to very tiny glass nibs on the front and top of her head (excess glass from the molding process). Hang-tag is a little rumpled but still completely intact.

From Pauline's collection. This lady's high-button shoe perfume bottle was made by Corning & Tappan of New York. The label around the neck indicates that the bottle once contained Cologne.

This interesting bottle was created in 1937 by Lucienne Coudert. However, it was not launched until after WWII, for Christmas 1944.

The motil of the gossiping ladies is molded the same on front and back of the bottle. There is an inner stopper, and the bottle design is completed with the curls of the women's hair forming the overcap. The gold foil hang-tag is printed with a black semi-open fan and the name of the fragrance, On Dit. Bottom of the bottle embossed, "Bottle Made in France." Please read the NOTE below regarding the contents of the bottle.

The glass is completely level with the metal, so it would be difficult to chip the glass in that area. No chips to the stopper neck. NOTE: enlarged pictures are taken with a macro lens and greatly enhance any imperfections. See additional photos.

CARLOVA, PARFUMERIE SOCIETY, 3-PIECE SET w/BOX, c.1920s-30s
This lovely 3-piece perfume presentation was made by Carlova, for their Parfumerie Society line. The perfume remaining in the large bottle is old and should not be used. The small bottle is empty. The deco-printed cardboard powder box has been opened, but appears to be full. It has been covered with a clear wrap to prevent the powder from falling out. Both bottles are flask-shaped and pentagonal. Each has – a square neck; an inner cork stopper; a brass snap-on overcap; a gold-colored silk (?) tassel; a raised flower petal design on both sides of the bottle – and – a gold-printed and embossed paper label reading – "Parfumerie Society, Paris-New York."
