How to Identify the Collection Value of Perfume Bottles
By Jae C -  30 Oct, 2018

Each perfume bottle, like a different story, expresses the unique feelings of the perfumer and perfume designer through design.



Age
In general, the earlier the perfume bottles are produced, the more they are collected and appreciated, just like all collectibles. Such as the Lalique style glass perfume bottle (1st century BC), this was quite extravagant at the time, just like the liquid in the bottle. Another example is a blown amethyst bottle (50-150 AD), as well as a blown glass jar built in the 1st century AD. From them, we can appreciate the true "lasting fragrance."


Place of Origin
Perfume bottles from different places have recorded different folk customs, and you can feel different cultures by enjoying perfume bottles from different places. The oldest perfume in the world, such as the one found in Cyprus, is simply placed in an inconspicuous pottery jar.


Material
The modern perfume bottle manufacturing industry was developed along with the glass crystal manufacturing industry. Therefore, glass and crystal are the main raw materials for the design of modern perfume bottles. In addition, porcelain, enamel, etc. are also often used as raw materials for the manufacture of perfume bottles. When collecting, you can focus on collecting perfume bottles of certain materials according to your own preferences.


Modeling
The shape of the perfume bottle is quite rich today. In addition to the shapes that can be described by squares, circles, hearts, crescents, cones, inverted trapezoids, etc., there are many shapes that are oddly shaped and cannot be described in words.


Color
The color of the perfume bottle is extremely rich. Generally, transparent perfume bottles such as glass crystal are mostly light colors, such as light lemon yellow, light orange, light green, light blue and so on.


Decoration
The delicate and elegant perfume bottles play a decisive role in attracting women's visual attention. The surface of the engraved flower, the beautiful flower cap, and some of the hand-bound bows make the visual art of the perfume bottle and the smell of the perfume have the same value.
