Through 1,028 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, America, 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 and 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 experienced the
magic these enticing bottles and the fragrances they contain.
