Antique or Rare Perfumes Bottles Are A Beloved Collectable
The color and shape of antique or rare perfumes bottles are two of the main reasons collectors are attracted to them. The opaque whites, reds, blues, yellows, greens, oranges, purples and blacks are beautiful. In addition, bottles come with designs and embossing or even pictures. All these things including the geographic area where the bottle was made adds to the uniqueness and attractiveness of a piece and helps to determine its value.
There are many different bottles to select from and serious collectors look for that one of a kind piece. A room can be enhanced with the color and uniqueness of an antique, rare perfume bottle. The most popular place is in the bedroom or bathroom area because perfume is a toiletry and the antique piece still fits best in these rooms for display.
A collection of antique perfume bottles can also be passed on to the next generation of collectors in the family while, depending upon the pieces, increasing in value over time. A reproduction can be an inexpensive way to acquire a piece. There is however, more value to an original piece as the colors are brighter and it provides satisfaction to the collector in knowing that it is an original. An original piece has history. There is information that can be researched that tells a story about where it was made and the past that it was part of.
Another aspect of collecting antique perfume bottles that you might enjoy is meeting other interesting people who share your passion. These people can add to your knowledge of the various pieces as well as provide information on places to hunt for bottles that you might not have considered.
And as with all collectors of antiques, there is the thrill of the hunt for that “just right” piece, or finding a gem among rubble, that extremely rare perfume bottle you looked so much time for or just maybe getting a bargain on something worth a lot of money.
