There are many fragrant essential oils and aroma compounds that are the raw materials for making perfumes. The perfumes help us sooth our body. In order not to lose the fragrance through evaporation, air tight containers or bottles are a must for storing perfumes.
Eau de toilette and Eau de Cologne containing bottles are examples of safe perfume storage. They prevent the perfume from escaping due their tight lids or stoppers. There is also a need to prevent sunlight entering the bottles causing chemical changes to the contents, and this is possible through use of colored, opaque or faceted glass bottles.
Even very early civilisations relished and extensively made use of perfumes. The Egyptian tombs, which are historically very old, were found to be having in their store perfume bottles giving credence to their very early use.
The Renaissance period in Venice was famous for the manufacture of fancy and decorative perfume glass bottles. Later in the 16th and 17th centuries, many other nations like England, France, and Silesia also started using these attractive perfume bottles. Italy, which originated manufacture of perfume bottles, continued the practice and many famous glass manufacturers, like Murano, originated from there.
These manufacturers produced latticework effect in the bottles by the decoration on the glasses with contrasting colors. However, the Germans were famous for producing white glass bottles which contained various designs with embellishments and enamels. In the later 18th and 19th centuries, England also popularised new types of perfume bottles made of varied raw materials like enamel, silver, porcelain etc.
Glass vials with lids or stoppers were a standard part of the enamel perfume bottles to contain the perfume. These bottles also contained fabulous decorations like flowers, sceneries, landscapes etc. Porcelain is also a preferred raw material for making these bottles.
Many imaginative shapes and sizes of these bottles are very common. You can see them in the shape of nuts, golf balls, shells and so on. Ladies especially liked the Victorian style of bottles for the perfumes as they had a delicate and feminine touch. These are liked by them even today and some women have an exclusive hobby of collecting such treasured perfume bottles.
