My sis collects antique perfume bottles. She has for as long as I can remember. Her interest in antique perfume bottles began when she was a child, just like my interest in a career in personal training did. Like most kids, she loved things which glittered and sparkled. She loved costume jewelry, shiny rocks and even my grandmother’s glass doorknobs. She loved pretty plus size coats. It only stood to reason which she might like decorative glass as well.

Her collection began with an old decorative aftershave bottle which was purchased for my father years earlier. Avon used to put its aftershave for men in attractive glass ornaments styled as automobiles and the like. My sis loved the items so much which my mother began getting similar items for her to keep, as long as she took pretty decent care of them.

Not only did my sis take decent care of the glassware, she excited stocking up an impressive collection of antique perfume bottles in the method. There are some items in the group which are actually attractive. You can spend a decent deal of days sifting through the seemingly endless assortment of glass.

However, not all of the antique perfume bottles were made of glass. I favor a few items in the assortment which are made out of metal. 1 of these metal items was either used for fragrance or for smelling salts. Chances are good they were used for how to get rid of cold sores. I like this piece because of the fact that it’s a small mysterious and because of the fact that it’s dated 1914 which makes it even more interesting.

I also like which some of the items in my sis’s collection tell stories which were shared by my family member. 1 story stands out regarding a mermaid and her fragrance carried by friendly fish. My grandmother gave my a particular set which however has me green with envy. The vintage bottles were a pair of fish.

These antique perfume bottles had cast metal holders. The caps screwed on the best and each cap had a “dab tube” which was used to dispense a modest amount of fragrance for the wearer. The antique perfume bottles boasted the finest detail including fish scales which all but looked real.

I have to say which these are my particular preferred among my sis’s collection. She might argue which this is because of the fact that they were not made of glass. Chances are good she is right. I personally never found glass to be of any particular interest. However, seeing her collection of antique perfume bottles is a real treat even for those of us who are not fascinated with glimmer.
