An Antique Perfume Bottle Is A Much
Treasured Possession
The numbers of different types of perfumes is quite huge
which means that there is need to have at least those many
different perfume bottles as well. Essentially, these bottles
serve to appeal to the customer into buying the perfume and
thus must be attractive and sure to catch the eye; so, it
really should not surprise anyone that perfume bottling
business is huge and amongst the many manufacturers of such
bottles, the name of Pochet SA that is a French company stands
out.
Pochet SA Is A Most Famous Bottle Maker
If you have ever bought a bottle of Givenchy, Coty, Dior,
Yves Saint Laurent and Calvin Klein or any other equally famous
brand of perfume, chances are that the perfume bottle has been
made by Pochet which today is a company that descended from
Verreries du Courval and also Pochet DeRoche that each have
many years of experience in making glass and porcelain items.
In fact, the first perfume bottle that contained designer
perfume that was commissioned by Empress Eugenie in the year
1858 and was the work of Verreries du Courval.
The means of making a perfume bottle changed and during the
thirties they began to be made by machine and most of the
inspiration for such bottles seemed to come from Hollywood,
while a company named Lalique that was subsequently bought by
Pochet had an excellent bottle that contained the 1932 classic
scent named Je Reviens that essentially resembled a skyscraper
from New York and the whole thing came in a package in a chrome
finished box.
Another interesting feature of the perfume bottle is that
long after the scent has been used up and the fra
grances are gone, the bottles, especially those from
bygone days are items that are treasured even more than the
scents that they held many years ago. In fact, if you are lucky
enough to own an antique perfume bottle, you could well be the
owner of a minor treasure that will fetch a good price and
which is much sought after by bottle collectors.
So, the next time you go overseas makes sure to check out
the many antique shops that may have an antique perfume bottle
for you to buy. However, that is easier said than done because
many of these bottles have an asking price in thousands of
dollars, and so before you buy one of these bottles, you should
not spend on something that is not to your liking, and if you
must collect these bottles, do so with those that are to your
liking so that you can enjoy them for many more years to
come.
You can even find antique perfume bottles in
places other than antique shops, and good places to look for
them include estate as well as yard sales, flea markets and
also thrift stores as well as Internet auctions.
