INFORMATIVE ARTICLES


International Perfume Bottle Assocation Newsletters If you would like to read very informative publications from the IPBA (until 1993 known as the “Perfume and Scent Bottle Collectors“), I have several for sale. The newsletters were printed in black and white until 1998. While the later editions were absolutely chock full of information and photos, the earlier ones also have a great deal of information regarding collecting, the care of bottles, photos, etc. Each is a treasure. The length varies from 14-18 pages each. They include many photos of bottles, histories of perfumers, wonderful articles on special categories, etc. I have read and re-read each, so I feel comfortable passing them along. They are in excellent used condition. Each copy is $4, including shipping. There are a total of 32 issues. If you would like to purchase the entire lot, the cost would be $99, including shipping and insurance. The following volumes are available:

Rene Lalique et Cie. Lalique Glass Complete Illustrated Catalogue for 1932. This reference is an exact replica of an original 1932 catalogue issued by Rene Lalique--so rare that only four known copies are known to exist in the United States. This edition has been reproduced directly from a copy in the possession of the Corning Museum of Glass." This soft cover book measures 9 5/8" x 11" and has 149 pages. Among the categories pictured in black and white photos, with title, are perfume flacons, atomizers, garniture sets, powder boxes and mirrors. There are also other categories with marvelous photos of vases, clocks, inkwells--the list goes on and on. This is my used copy in very good condition. Aside from corner wear and creases on the cover, there aren’t other issues. The photos are numerous and superb in detail. While written in the French language, the photos are universal and this is a reference any collector of Lalique should have. $15 SOLD
