Testing Tooth Decay With Eggs

Russian perfume bottles

And my search has now borne fruit in another. With luck, I have to show two new acquisitions.


one of them a wonderfully deep cobalt blue glass bottle with an oval paper label and a clear-white glass stopper.




This work is ground in, so I guess that bottle from the period before 1960. Thereafter, in most perfumes, the glass stopper, if still used, covered with a plastic coating to prevent seizing.



The other bottle stands out above all through his wonderful green, decorated and wonderfully kitschy packaging: malachite green paper with Acanthus scrolls decorated the outside of the dome-shaped packaging, inside is all lined with lightly golden metallic paper.



The whole thing is by an oxidized, the former golden Metallfädchens, which ends in two Holzperlchen.


interior is a very rough crafted molded glass bottle, also with eingeschilffenem glass stopper. Everything is still full of liquid, an unknown and apparently umgegangener scent - slightly floral.


The bottle trying to convey a certain opulence and elegance, which he manages from a distance. Looking at the glass but on closer look, and feel the rough, knobby and unrefined outer Page - the seams are pressed glass in any way been revised or beige ground.





What counts is the overall impression, and the lives of the interesting packaging.




I think I have a new collection area - sparked my interest. Certainly not the smells, but on the bottle and the packaging, in particular!

So if someone older bottles of Russian origin, he or she does not want more - I ask me an email. Perhaps we are indeed in the business :-))
