One of my collecting interests over the years has been vintage perfume bottles and vanity items. Lately during my outings to estate sales and antique malls, my eye has been on the lookout for unique vanity treasures!
I discovered this remarkable Art Deco piece of history, an Arden celluloid rouge box .Elizabeth Arden was an early pioneer in not only skin care but as a woman in business!
Another thrilling find was this Victorian Larkin Company perfume bottle in original box. The Larkin Soap Company played a major part in the history of Buffalo. The Frank Lloyd Wright designed Larkin building houses many businesses currently. The site is also a cool downtown gathering space for music, food and fun in the summer. So nice to have found this historical collectible.
The whimsical designs of the vintage French perfumes are also hard to resist and are very special collectibles!
There is something so enchanting about miniature perfume bottles! For example, Art deco molded bottles, cut glass or czech irice are such sweet keepsakes.
This photo shows a portion of my collection along with vintage bottles I have repurposed with lace.
The great part of a vintage perfume bottle is once the fragrance is gone, the bottle will still be enjoyed for years to come!
