Sell Antique Scent and Perfume Bottles on eBay

antique bottleIt wasn't before the 1900s that perfume, then usually known as 'scent', was offered in ready filled bottles. Formerly scent was bought in plain bottles, functional not decorative, and many ladies (also males) possessed a range of usually exquisitely ornate and delicately made bottles, sometimes made distinctively on their behalf, frequently hands produced, from time to time initialed or monogrammed or engraved and producing high costs today on eBay and elsewhere.


On eBay, lately, a globular - globe formed - milk glass scent bottle attracted 38 bids and $1386.38 finishing cost, along with a Lalique scent bottle fetched $950. They are affordable prices in comparison to others selling lately on eBay or at offline auction houses. Consider, for example, a 1910 Wiener Werkstatte cut glass globular design (there's that word 'globular' again and answer to the most popular shape) that offered at Sotheby's for £1,000, as well as an egg formed bottle/flask produced from silver and hallmarked 1882 that offered through the same company for £550.


Things to understand about Scent Bottles


* This can be a great position for taking a chance and jeopardizing a couple of pounds on something which might quadruple neglect the or fetch a lot more. A wide variety of collecting styles meet within the overall scent bottle experience that the least expensive and apparently most regular perfume bottles bought for any pound or two at flea marketplaces, jumble sales and boot sales, can attract multiple bidders and finishing prices on eBay. The secret is to pay attention to bottles with several collecting interests, for example maker and material, for example, a Lalique glass bottle with silver stopper, or perhaps a bottle produced by Bacarrat and decorated with gold leaf. One other good example is how original and subsequent use converge, as in which a bottle once holding perfume can be used a paperweight today. Two collecting interests in a single item basically guarantees multiple bidders and alluring finishing prices.


* At flea marketplaces and boot sales consider box and tray plenty of apparently low value products, for example bottles of half-used scent in the nineteen fifties and earlier. Some with undamaged labels detailing maker and perfume title, are well-liked by advertising fanatics, and just like a nineteen thirties bottle of Saturday Evening Product featured in Millers' Collectables Cost Guide could be worth as much as £35 each, some a lot more. An example is really a 1930 bottle of Guerlain perfume 'Guerlilas' in Baccarat bottle that fetched £521.10 (about £280.00) on eBay, along with a vintage bottle of Lotus Bleu Perfume by Moehr of Monte Carlo that fetched £78.00.


* A title may cause fierce putting in a bid, for maker of bottle or perfume, better yet in an example. The large names to search for in bottle makers are Lalique (delicious glass masterpieces frequently frosted or opalescent) Baccarat, specialising in quality very products, not only bottles Galle, famous for stunning art nouveau designs that fetch high costs on eBay. Other popular perfume makers include Christian Dior, Guerlain, Estee Lauder, Avon. Avon produced a few of the world's most breathtaking containers and lots of bottle enthusiasts seek solely Avon masterpieces which could fetch up to £100 each. They are not too difficult to find at flea marketplaces, or at boot sales where I acquired a 1969 Blue Blazer body powder shaker the same shape as Andy Capp which require me to pay 50p and it is valued in Lyle's A Lot Of Money inside your Loft at £100.


* Andy Capp is among numerous figures whose presence on the scent bottle could make a day to day object worth 100s, even 1000's of pounds. Cartoon figures are specifically popular, for example Bonzo Dog (the best) whose image made an appearance on 1000's of collectable products including scent bottles. Also consider Felix the kitty who lately made $650 on the scent bottle, and do not overlook Disney figures, Betty Boop, Florence Upton Golliwogs.


* Among most widely used subjects portrayed on scent bottles are dogs and felines (felines appear more frequently to market and also at greater prices than dog depictions) hands colored flowers, place names on crested china bottles, just about anything of oriental interest.


* Some scent bottles, complete or simply the stopper, specified for for use later as paperweights, therefore reaching one other popular collecting area and potential putting in a bid wars between bottle and paperweight enthusiasts. There is nothing to prevent you explaining your item like a paperweight as well as listing under 'paperweights' within the Memorabilia category.


* Detail all possible collecting interests within the title for the bottle and achieve the largest possible market, like a French 1800s Opaline Egg Scent Bottle produced by Baccarat that's just fetched $560.52 and doubtless become a huge hit to enthusiasts thinking about: maker = Baccarat, subject = egg, material = opaline glass, age = 1800s.
