Manhattan's Midnight Perfume Prism 💎
💎 Manhattan’s Midnight Perfume Prism 💎
💎 Imagine, if you will, the Roaring Twenties—a dazzling age of Art Deco flair, where the jazz was hot and the hemlines were rising! This little bottle was born in that electric era, possibly around the late 1920s or 1930s.
💎 It didn’t just hold perfume; oh no, it held dreams and daring nights out! It likely graced the vanity of a sophisticated flapper or a Hollywood starlet, catching the light as they prepared for a grand ball or a secret rendezvous.
💎 The scent it once held was surely just as bold and beautiful as its design, perhaps a rich, exotic blend of jasmine and spice.
💎 It’s not just a bottle; it’s a tiny glass architect of elegance, carrying the soul of an era that loved geometry, luxury, and a good, sharp line. It whispers tales of glamour and forbidden cocktails!
💎 This magical perfume bottle is a spectacular example of geometric fantasy rendered in crystal-clear glass.
💎 The Flacon (The Body) stands upon a pedestal of pure, brilliant white, a tiny stage for its dramatic performance! The body is a fascinating construction of sharply faceted clear glass, giving it a cubist, stepped silhouette—like a miniature, glamorous skyscraper for your favourite scent. The most enchanting part is the clever use of black enamel inserts. These little trapezoids of midnight black are tucked perfectly into the clear facets, creating a striking contrast that is both bold and undeniably chic. It looks like a little glass tuxedo or a high-fashion chessboard.
💎 The Stopper is the magnificent crown! It rises up like a diamond-tipped sceptre, a perfectly symmetrical, multi-faceted spike. The clear crystal top is mirrored by a matching black enamel base, completing the dramatic black-and-white motif. It doesn’t just seal the bottle; it announces its presence with an upward flourish.
💎 This bottle doesn’t just sit on a table; it struts! It embodies the Art Deco spirit of speed, modernity, and streamlined luxury. It’s a tiny, powerful sculpture that says, “I am here, and I am fabulous!”
💎 It truly is a magnificent relic from a golden age.
💎 Condition and Character 💎
This piece is in beautiful vintage condition and presents wonderfully. There is one very small nibble to the underside of the stopper, visible in the photographs, which does not affect how the bottle displays or functions. The glass remains clear, crisp, and striking, with its dramatic geometry and contrast fully intact.
🧚♀️ A Little Note from the Antique Fairy
As with all vintage darlings, this piece has lived a life or two and may have a tiny surface scratch here or there as part of its story. I do my very best to capture any little whispers of wear in photos and notes. If you have any questions or just want to chat about this treasure, feel free to reach out! 😊
