Quaker Silver Company

The Quaker Silver Company had an elegant gold plated/silver-plated stemmed atomizer that has its embossed areas picked out in black enamel. This bottle can be found with it’s design patent number of 75919 on the base which corresponds to the date of 1928 and was filed by James W. Jennings, the assignor to the Quaker Silver Company. This item was originally designed for a salt & pepper shaker and similar article as noted on the design patent drawing. The bottle can also be found with the markings “Juanita Atomizer” and “736 Reg.“. The atomizer hardware looks to be made by Pyramid. An example of this perfume atomizer is shown in the Monsen & Baer Perfume Bottle Auction Catalog of 2002.

Antique German Bisque Porcelain Perfume Atomizer - Girl with Large Basket

Antique German Bisque Porcelain Perfume Atomizer - Girl with Large Basket. This piece dates to about 1895-1920. The girl stands 4 1/4" tall and the atomizer section stands 5 3/8" tall. The base is merely molded with a "14" which is most likely the mold number for the company that produced it. I do not know which Germany company made this cute little piece.

G. de Beffort & Co

G. de Beffort was a Paris-based manufacturer of fine perfume-related accessories and functional metalwork, located at 66 rue de Bondy. The company was active in the early 20th century and specialized in producing a diverse range of toilet garnitures, perfume atomizers, perfume burners, barber tools, and metal fittings—notably sprinkler-style crown tops used for finishing perfume bottles. Their work bridged both utilitarian and decorative purposes, with much of their output aligning with the elegant, often Art Nouveau and early Art Deco tastes of the time.

Among their patented and notable creations was the "Cistaflor", a perfume burner designed for scented air diffusion, which reflected the early 20th-century interest in aromatic home environments. Another important innovation was their line of pocket atomizers, sold under the trademark “Ketma.” These compact, portable devices allowed for on-the-go application of perfume and were particularly stylish and practical. One such Ketma atomizer was likely used by Maurice Babani, a well-known perfumer, importer, and purveyor of exotic and luxury goods in London, further suggesting the brand’s presence in fashionable and high-end retail circles.

G. de Beffort received international recognition for their quality and innovation, notably winning the Grand Prix at the 1911 Exposition Internationale in Paris—a prestigious award that placed them among the elite manufacturers of perfumery accessories. The company also had an international footprint, maintaining a London office at 2 St-Georges Avenue, Aldermanbury, EC, which would have facilitated distribution and business relations across the English Channel.

Archival evidence confirms that G. de Beffort remained active at least until 1923, as shown by a hand-dated invoice from that year. This suggests a solid commercial lifespan for a company whose products combined refined design with mechanical utility in the service of luxury perfumery.

From Pauline Turco's collection. This German porcelain perfume elephant is one of the small animal atomizer bottles by Schafer & Vater, model number 886. The tan monochrome glaze highlights the fine detail of this piece. Labels on both sides of the elephant identify the atomizer " Ketma". The atomizer hardware is stamped, "Made in France." As is often the case, the bottle is German made and the atomizer hardware was from France. This S&V model was sold as a souvenir at the Exposition Coloniale Internationale in Paris, France in 1931. Shown on page 115 of The Crown Top Book by Pauline Turco. Size: Approximately 3" h. including atomizer hardware and bulb.
