Sweet packaging from the past

Just visual cleanser after all the bad news this week. I need some beauty. I need some oohs and ahhs. I need to think about what happened to packaging and promotion, it has definitely taken a dive. I was just going to throw out the images for enjoyment because I have a vicious sinus headache this morning. But then reading the descriptions are so interesting ... I feel badly if I don't. Identifying when I can.

1896 L T Piver perfume bottle le trefle incarnat. I am so in love with the clove-shaped bottle cap.

I once owned this exact bottle. I am not sure where I got it from, but I am pretty sure it ended up at the Goodwill ;(

I have this bottle. Mom had it for many, many years and I don't know what to do with it. It is one of those things, like many in my life that I have looked at my entire life and find hard to give away. I am not sure it is really worth $350. Vintage Joy De Jean Patou Paris Store Display Perfume Bottle. PS, mom's favorite perfume. I bought her a bottle once a year ;)

Another object of beauty that I looked at my entire life on mom's dressing table. This perfume bottle, there was an entire set setting on a mirrored tray with a couple of matching jewelry boxes.
