Miller’s Perfume Bottles (The Collector’s Guide)

Covering both noncommercial bottles, into which perfume was decanted, and commercial perfume bottles, sold complete with scent, this aimed-at-the-beginner guide explores the variety of styles available. It includes silver-topped Victorian examples; Lalique glass; designs by such names as Guerlain, Chanel and Avon; men’s aftershave bottles; and the unique avant-garde creations of Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Customer Review: An Informative Collectors Guide
I found this little book very helpful with a wealth of information, on collecting all types of Perfume Bottles including non-commercials (scent bottles without perfume) as well as commercials (bottles sold with perfume). It covers the art of perfume bottle making & some history from ancient times thru todays avant-garde creations such as: Pomanders, Victorian Vinaigrettes, all types of materials that were used, some famous name commerical houses, novelities & minis just to name a few areas. Each area is covered with nice photo’s of the period perfume bottle. The is also a nice chapter on collecting advice including what to collect, tips, care & cleaning. This would be a great book for those who want to start collecting perfume bottles or those who are already collectors. This book should be added to your Perfume or Vanity Items library.
