Book Description
Through 1028
breath-taking color photographs and extensive research, Jacquelyne North has captured the enchantment of perfume bottles throughout the ages in a newly revised edition reflecting today's market. Beginning with the earliest available information (6th
century B.C.) through our most contemporary designs, this book offers the reader heretofore unattainable information and an exquisite collection of illustrations. Many of the bottles pictured are currently available to collectors. These wonderful
photographs are further enhanced by a concise history covering perfume, cologne, scent, atomizer and fan-stopper bottles from Northern Europe, American, Bohemia and Japan. Over 270 patent illustrations are presented as part of a comprehensive chapter on
commercial bottles. In addition a directory of perfume makers and scents and a useful price guide are included. Special emphasis has been given to bottles by Lalique as well as those made in Czechoslovakia. Glass, porcelain and silver are some of the
materials discussed in the creation of scent containers. Rounding out the book are chapters on Dime-Store novelty bottles and tips on care and presentation of scent bottles. This book is unquestionably one-of-a-kind, appealing not only to the collector
but to anyone who has ever experienced the magic of what these special bottles have to offer in addition to the fragrances they contain. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
