Description

Miniature antique perfume bottle, presented here in a heart-shaped silhouette, perfectly suited to the world of vintage collectible bottles. The vial is made of transparent glass, revealing the residue of a clear liquid inside. The visible side shows a handwritten inscription "d'amour" (of love) as well as a decorative relief in the shape of a stylized stem and leaves, typical of models designed for romantic perfumes of the mid-20th century.

The stopper, also made of glass, has a rounded shape and fits onto a short neck. The transparency of the glass allows for observation of the purity of the material and the simplicity of the presentation, without superfluous flourishes. The bottle's design, all in curves and softness, highlights the idea of a delicate perfume or a precious scent, often associated with vintage French creations.

Embossed inscriptions are visible on the lower part of the bottle, but they remain partially illegible in the photo. The overall condition of the glass shows some traces of deposit and marks of age, consistent with an object that has spanned several decades. No added decoration is visible on the presented side, which reinforces the refined and timeless character of this miniature bottle.

This type of bottle was frequently used for miniature perfumes from French houses, often offered as gifts or proposed in limited editions. The retro look and heart shape make this piece a typical example of the sentimental aesthetic that permeated 20th-century perfumery.

The transparent glass shows a slight patina and some traces of use, common elements on antique bottles. The stopper's design and the overall sobriety correspond to a search for simple elegance, favoring the shape and clarity of the material.

Condition

Used item sold as is, with visible signs of age: internal deposit, slight marks on the glass, visible wear on the stopper. The photo shows the only visible side; any additional information not visible cannot be guaranteed.

Did you know? The miniature bottle became a collectible item as early as the 1920s, when major French perfume houses began to issue reduced versions of their flagship creations, allowing a wide audience to discover their fragrances in a precious and decorative form.
