Intro:Cosmetic and perfume bottles from the early twentieth century occupy a different category than utilitarian glass — they were designed to be seen. The pieces in this collection were recovered from New York City's historic waterfront, where pre-1950s beauty and fragrance glass has been preserved alongside decades of discarded household items. Cold cream jars, perfume flacons, toilet water bottles, and early branded cosmetic containers — each piece carries the design sensibility of an era when packaging was an extension of the product itself. Hand-selected for condition and ready for vanity display or shelf styling.
