DeVilbiss crystal perfume atomizers advertisements from a 1937-38 McKesson's publication.

Bohemian Colored Glass Perfume Atomizers 1901 Advertisements

Bohemian colored glass perfume atomizers from an antique Victorian/Edwardian 1901-02 A. C. McClurg & Co. publication. Many of the atomizers are gilded and the designs are reminiscent of Moser. I also like the ones that have the ormolu footed mountings. Note that they have the "Aladdin's lamp" style atomizer hardware. Some of the atomizer bulbs are netted, some are not. One example is a combination puff box and atomizer.

Welcome!

"A drop of perfume bursting into myriad atoms of fragrance, makes the use of perfume an added delight"

This website is based on a book I have been writing since 2006. I contacted many publishers who told me that there "isn't enough interest in the subject". So I have now created the website for the reference of various perfume atomizer companies dating from the 1920s-1930s. This is basically a site for collectors/dealers of perfume bottles and related vanity items.

You will find information on companies such as DeVilbiss, Volupte, Pyramid, Aristo, Marcel Franck, TJ Holmes, Czechoslovakia, Lalique, Gironde, Debans, Mignon, Kitzinger Freres, Legras, Quenvil, Galle, Argy-Rousseau, Baccarat, Le Kid, L'Aiglon, Paradis, Saint-Louis, Val Saint Lambert, D'Argental, Moser, Heinrich Hoffmann, Apollo Studios, Silvercraft, E & JB Empire Art, Richard, Daum Nancy, Muller Freres, De Vez, various other French companies who manufactured cameo and enameled glass atomizers, travel atomizers and more.

Please feel free to comment on the posts. I am always interested in what people collect and what got them started. If you have more information or photos to add, please let me know, you will be credited.
