in the 1920s and 1930s, aviation was just starting to become more common, and more daring with such flying champions like Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhardt, the airplane itself lent itself to various forms of decor during the Art Deco period. As you can see in the following images, airplanes were also a part of perfume bottle decorations, whether having the bottle itself become the main body of the airplane or having the atomizer hardware itself the airplane.
1920s Czech atomizer, enameled glass, chromed metal fittings, original hose and ball. 7 1/2 in.

The Czech glass bottle below has the atomizer hardware in the shape of an airplane, very neat!! The bottle is decorated with an etched design of either stylized clouds or airplane propeller in motion.
