In the Victorian era, perfume bottles were very popular. In fact, it was during this period that the commonness of these bottles were starting to pick up. These bottles comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes and perfume was poured into a lady’s personal perfume bottle. However, by the end of the 19th century, the fashion scene has transformed these unique bottles into pre-packed boxed sets as they had become more popular and widely available.

Although the fashion scene had changed, the numerous famous perfume houses has not stopped their operations. They have increased their operations and produced even more exotic and expensive fragrances. These perfumes were very valuable as well as expensive, hence during and immediately after World War II, it has become largely unaffordable for many people. However, after the turn of the century, these perfume bottles have once again become very popular amongst the collectors because they are treated as vintage art pieces and antique perfume bottles.

Also, during the 19th century, it was also the period where designers of perfume bottles were given the permission to be very creative with their ideas of design. This was because of the high competition of that era. Major perfume house like Avon Cosmetics was one of the few who had invested heavily in the designs of their bottles of perfume. This company, which started at 1959, had produced some of the world’s most amazing and unique bottles that contains perfumes. Most people over the age of 35 will probably remember or maybe even had bought one of their perfumes before. The company designed imaginative containers in which they decanted lotions, perfumes and aftershaves. Every bottles of liquid produced by them was a collector’s dream. They had designs ranging from telephones and gramophones to cars and motorcycles. Of course, in this day and time, many of them are no longer produced anymore and they have obviously become more collectible than those which still are.

To add to the exclusivity of their designs of bottles of perfumes and lotions, some of these designs are produced for a time limited period only, for example, Christmas designs. These time limited period designs are generally harder to get because during the 1960’s and 1970’s, it hardly occurred to people then that these pieces will one day become a highly sought after collector’s item. Moreover, during those particular two periods, the mindset of “use and throw” is gradually picking up as a general behavioural pattern as things get more commercialized and the increase of people’s spending power. Perfume bottles were kept and displayed for only a short time while many other bottles are discarded after use.

It is because of this reason, that many of the unique designs that were produced are now gone. The remaining pieces usually fetch a very high price from online auction sites or collector’s auctions. However, to fetch the best price possible for your perfume bottle, it should be a complete set with the original box and both should be in a tip-top condition. Many people wonder if it is ok if the perfume inside these bottles are used. Collectors usually go for the bottle design instead of the perufme instead so even completely full bottles do not necessary fetch a higher value.

Perfumes are made from the extract of essential oils and other aromatic compounds. It is known that perfumes have a tendency to evaporate if not stored in a container. The perfume containers traditionally were simple and not very fancy, but with the increasing demand for perfumes, innovative designer bottles were manufactured to provide the perfumes with an exotic aura. These bottles were made from different materials: mainly glass, porcelain, and silver. The shapes, designs, and decorations on such perfume bottles were distinct from each other, and each one had a unique style. Egyptian perfume bottles are made from Kiln Pyrex glass, which is a hard, top-quality glass.

Egyptian perfume bottles are hand-painted and may be decorated with an 18 or 24 karat gold border. It is observed that such perfume bottles are unique, and people usually do not find another pair, as they are not duplicated. Legends state that ancient Egyptians created unique perfume bottles to collect tears of those who cried about the death of the Pharaoh. These perfume bottles are very rare, and many individuals have a passion for collecting such ancient Egyptian perfume bottles.

There are many websites where people can get information about Egyptian perfume bottles, their origin, their history, and details about their make and dealers. Different designs and styles of Egyptian perfume bottles can be obtained through the Internet. With the option of choosing the perfume bottle of the customer’s choice, the orders can be placed online by providing the necessary details. The delivery charges for the Egyptian perfume bottles are standard and can be delivered to any part of the world. Since Egyptian perfume bottles are antiques, their shipment and delivery charges can be pretty high.

Egyptian perfume bottles make unique gifts for various occasions and can be a token of appreciation and love.

In recent years, the collection of antique perfume bottles has been a rising trend. More and more new collectors and dealers are forming everyday and looking for unique designer bottles of perfume. This upward trend is fuelled by the proliferation of usage of online auction sites by collectors and dealers to sell and buy their bottles. In fact, many collectors who are just starting out their personal collection likes to visit online auction sites like eBay and they have found many rare antique perfume bottles on sale there at very reasonable prices. This trend has also benefited dealers who now have an outlet to peddle their wares and still get the best possible prices for their unique bottles.

Of course, with more exposure, comes increased competition. At the online auction sites, prices are typically very buoyant due to the large number of people bidding on the same products and the larger number of products that are on sale. However, due to the large number of choices a bidder is exposed to, there are still plenty of bargains to be had. This increased competition has also benefited customers at all levels. Dealers now take the effort to include dimension and some history of the individual bottles for sale. They have also included a scanned photo of the bottle so that potential customers know exactly what they are paying for. In this way, no customer will be buying something in the dark and because of this, many great friendships have blossomed between buyers and sellers over the years through online auction sites.

Although we mentioned that prices can be quite fast changing on online auction sites, it does not mean that all the unique bottles of perfume that are sold through that channel is expensive. In fact, there can still be very good bargain and deals if you take the time to shop around first. For example, recently a rare Mickey Mouse perfume bottle from the 1930’s have been recently sold to the tune of $375 dollars. It could have fetched a higher price if the original box was still in a mint condition.

If you are a seller who has collected some antique perfume bottles and are looking to sell some, you should take note of some of the factors that could potentially increase the price of your product. First, your product should preferably be in a mint condition and should include an original box of packaging. If it is a packaged set item, all the items should be included also. Second, if your product comes with additional accessories like a display stand or a presentation platform, you should also include it with your bottle because it is treated as a whole item. Third, if a buyer is interested in your product, do include means of communication. There were instances where a seller was slow or unclear in their response to the buyer that the buyer gave up even though the product was a very rare perfume bottle. Fortunately, this factor can be easily solved with the Internet, where communication can take place simultaneously and in real time so that any issues can be ironed out before the buyer and the seller commits to the price and the sale.
