Vant Woud Atomizers c1924 Advertisement







This atomizer features Cambridge's Azurite glass. Notice the hardware is slightly different than what is shown in the advertisement.  The bottle stands a little over 6 1/2" tall.











These atomizers were also shown but I am unsure if these are Vant Woud, but I am including them here anyway. 



Bottle stands 4.25" tall by 1 7/8" bottom diameter. Octagonal Shape, with eight paneled sides. Outlined with gold gilt on alternating panels. This bottle also came in the heliotrope color. The hardware could be either Vant Woud or Volupte.
