So pretty. And still smells lovely. I am now addicted to fragrance and old perfume bottles.
Does anyone know the date of this item? Bottle by Baccarat?
Thank you :-)

Hi. When you visited my Dans la Nuit Lalique boule entry, I recommended the book by Christie Mayer Lefkowith that I referenced in my posting. She treats this bottle well in the book. She considered it a transitional piece, if I remember correctly. Since it is your 'face' on CW, I thought you'd be interested. Regards! miKKo
Thank you Mikko!!! I will have to look this book up at our library. I have not come across it yet. I have only read the "Perfume legends - French Fragrances" book by Michael Edwards so far.
A beautiful Dior presentation! (I also date it 50s/60s).
I have one also, identical in every regard, except it is missing its paper label.
Yours is gorgeous!
Thanks VolDeNuit - there is another one here now - a full one! With paper label intact!! And they bought it for only $3!!!! Check it out :-)
Yes I saw it - its wonderful!!
