The Mignon Corporation

Vaporisateurs et verrerie pour vaporisateurs: George E. Mignon Inc., 23 25 East 26th Street, New York. 

This company imported perfume bottles, atomizers and trays. The Mignon Corporation of New York City ordered "Tiffany ware" bottles from Loetz as told in the book Loetz: Bohemian glass 1880-1940 by Jan Mergl.

The Geo E. Mignon Company of New York was the US agents for Marcel Franck perfume atomizers.

In 1921, George E. Mignon organized with capital of $50,000 and confined the business of the company to imported perfumes and perfume atomizers and did not handle drugs. The incorporators were George E. Mignon, JR Clarke, and Ralph T Tyner, president of the Theodore Taylor Finance Corporation 49 Liberty street New York. They imported perfume atomizers and glass bottles for atomizers.


By 1923, the company was renamed The Mignon Corporation.

Mignon had their name stamped onto the atomizer collars, along with “Made in France” and sometimes the name Mignon was acid etched onto the base of the flacon. Their hardware is sometimes similar to those of DeVilbiss, Marcel Franck or Volupte.

They also launched the Royal Doulton Atomizer line in 1926. Mignon had purchased several of Steuben's Rosaline and iridescent Aurene glass bottles.
