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.

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 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.

J816
LUBIN, AU SOLEIL, LIZARD PERFUME BOTTLE, c.1909

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.

From Joan's collection. This lovely blue cased glass perfume bottle was made by Raffy, an American company, for the fragrance "Leda." The bottle is empty. Does the bottle look familiar?!!

The design and gilding are the same on both sides of stopper. The large, round, silver foil label is blue-printed and embossed with flowers and the maker's name, "RAFFY New York." The bottom is marked "FRANCE" – and another mark which is not readable.

Historical Note: Marcel Raffy was an American who fraudulently claimed to have a Paris office for his perfume business. He was: "Sued by the French perfumers' association for having used a factitious Paris address." *

MOIRET, CIRCE, BLACK PERFUME BOTTLE, c.1924
This black glass perfume bottle was made by Moiret, a French company, for the fragrance "Circe." There is perfume in the bottle (don’t know how much). This perfume is old and should not be used. There is a very small, and very fragile, piece of cording around the bottle and stopper necks. The stopper has a matte finish with a polished edge and stylized matte flower on the top. The bottle is oval with sloping shoulders. In matte relief on the front – a nude woman on one knee, holding a stemmed glass, dog/wolf(?) on left and sleeping lion on right.

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.

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.

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.

Very desirable bottle -- hard to find. It was made by Baccarat (#228) for Bichara Malhamé, a perfumer from Beirut, Lebanon. The bottle is empty, but once contained the fragrance "Yavahna" The Pharaoh head stopper has a dark gray patina - it is molded in the likeness of Bichara himself! The decagon-shaped bottle flairs out at the base. There are 2 embossed and gold-printed paper labels. The smaller label bears the fragrance name. The larger label reads: "Paris, Bichara, Chaussee D'Antin." This bottle does not have the Baccarat logo as the company did not start systematically signing their work until 1936. There is an etched number (28) on the bottom. Very heavy bottle for its size -- weighs little more than 1/2 lb. (8.4 oz.). A gem for the sophisticated collector.

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.
