The House of Worth was founded in Paris in 1858 by Charles Frederick Worth, the English-born couturier who effectively invented the concept of the fashion house and became the defining name in French haute couture for the following century. Worth extended its prestige into fragrance, and this clear crystal globe bottle carried that legacy into American vanity tables and dressing rooms. The near-perfect spherical form — wide, round, and precisely proportioned with a small refined neck — is pure French luxury design: geometric and restrained in equal measure.
Embossing: WORTH in the brand's signature rectangular cartouche on the front face. Lettering sharp and clear.
Condition is excellent overall with one scratch visible in photos. No chips or cracks. The crystal glass is brilliant and intact.
Dimensions: 4" H × 3.5" W × 1.5" D | Clear crystal glass | Excellent vintage condition with one surface scratch noted
The globe form and French couture heritage make this a natural for Rococo Revival displays — the aesthetic bringing back opulence, curves, and ornamental detail. Style it on a vanity alongside vintage glass and cosmetic bottles, or as a bud vase for a single dried stem where the spherical form does the visual work. House of Worth is a recognized name among vintage perfume collectors, and the WORTH cartouche is immediately legible to anyone who knows the brand.
