Lalique Perfume Bottle

A Lalique perfume bottle is a highly sought-after item, as this article explains ...

Any serious collector would agree that a Lalique perfume bottle is a very desirable object among the collecting population. The designer of the Laique perfume bottles started designing the objects after he was fifty years of age. This late start did not hinder the artist’s productivity at all.

During his relatively short designing career, Laique managed to create many innovative and attractive designs that make the Lalique perfume bottle one of distinction and desire. This prolific artist’s work continues to delight collectors around the world and his legacy has been carried on by his posterity.

The classic Lalique perfume bottle continued to be recreated after the artist’s death. The designer’s son took over his practice and maintained the elegant quality expected of the Lalique perfume bottle. After his son retired, the artist’s granddaughter continued to keep the company going with the same quality and innovation as offered by the original.

Initially, the designer began working for various perfume manufacturers who wanted to appeal to the buyer’s sense of sight as well as his sense of smell. The Lalique perfume bottle was a staple among companies like Coty, Houbigant and Worth among countless other perfume manufacturers.

The Lalique perfume bottle collection is among the most sought-after assortment of this type. The Lalique perfume bottle of 19th century yields great rewards for the seller. Many collectors are willing to pay top dollar for the decorative spray bottles. Prices range from the minimal 1,000 dollars to a jaw-dropping 15,000 dollars.

A seller can obtain an even higher selling price if the Lalique perfume bottle is accompanied by the original advertisement for the fragrance it held. If the seller has a 19th century Lalique fragrance container and a poster or an advertisement that corresponds to it, the value of the arrangement will rise accordingly.

Many collectors may have a hard time finding such a treasure which is why the ensemble is so very valuable today. However, those who have newer fragrance bottles designed by this artist will still find that their items are quite valuable themselves. Even the Lalique perfume bottle designed during the turn of the millennium can pull in quite a price, especially the limited edition design.

It’s funny that the designer started out as a jeweler who created unusual, cutting edge designs that really did not fair very well commercially. After the fragrance manufacturer, Coty approached the artist to create the first Lalique perfume bottle things changed for the better. The results are still apparent today.
