Hi! I bought a bottle I know nothing about; and I haven't been able to find anything yet? Any info on this would be greatly appreciated!! The bottom had the baccarat emblem. Stopper and base both have the same etchings, 55 or ss? The bottom is also marked Myon Paris France. The box lid fastens on to the base overstay tabs on each side of the bottle. Bottle approx 2 x 2 inches. Thanks much!

Hi Vetraio50,
Thanks so much! I tried to find a bottle that looks like this, but all I could find are the ginger jar type bottles, which are much larger, and I think they were like lavender marble; couldn't find this little guy any where.....Kinda like it that it was a short lived company :) Appreciate it! :):)
Love that packaging! Beautiful moulded stopper, too! Great name!
THIS IS A SHOW STOPPER AND A STUNNER :) wow what a beaut!!!!!! and exqusite quality:)
Maybe this will help your research:
MYON
The bottles for the Mÿon line were produced by Baccarat and were of the same opaque overlaid crystal technique as those classic flacons for Ybry. The perfumes often came in a stylized angular Chinese ginger jar type of flacons with an enameled brass cover and label. Original boxes are rare to find. Other Myon bottles are clear squat square shaped Baccarat crystal flacons with the same metal lids as on the ginger jar bottles. Therarest of all Myon bottles is the black crystal Art Deco flacon by Baccarat with the gilded trim, this bottle held Mille Joie from 1928.
The perfumes of the very shortlived Mÿon line:
1928 1000 Joies/Mille Joies
1928 Three Passions
1928 Si Different
1928 Femme Moderne
1928 Coeur de Femme
1934 Exaltation
1935 Secret Nocturne
1935 Pois de Senteur
Thanks maryh1956 - I appreciate it! seems this bottle doesn't match these large baccarat bottles - but I love the small size :) :) :) and the fact it is from 1934 - love the old bottles!
Gorgeous! Really remarkable that you have an intact box, too! : )
Lovely !
