Glass scent bottles

 Only in the 20th century did it become commonplace to buy perfume and bottle together as a complete package.

 Shapes of bottles have, over the years, been influenced by many different factors. Nineteenth century flacons were produced in a wide range of sizes, materials and shapes, for both decorative and practical purposes. Because of their corsets, Victorian women were prone to fainting, and double-ended scent bottles were designed to contain perfume in one half and sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar in the other. Miniature bottles, worn like jewellery, enabled ladies to keep their scent with them at all times. By the early 1900s customers were giving up mixing their own perfume in favour of buying named brands. The 20th century saw the massive commercial expansion of the perfume industry dominated by couturiers such as Chanel and Dior.

 Glass is a cooled liquid, the basic ingredient being silica, usually in the form of fine sand, with the addition of alkaline fluxes such as soda or potash. The mixture of raw materials is called the batch and, according to the type of glass being made, includes other ingredients such as lime or lead oxide. Cullet, or broken glass, is also added to aid fusion. The finished glass is called the metal. There are a number of ways of colouring glass. Metal oxide can be added, the resultant colour depending on the amount used and the quality.

Renaissance of Coloured glass

 The range of colours produced increased considerably during the 19tn century. The best cranberry, or ruby glass, was derived the gold sovereigns that factory managers would fling into the pots of molten glass. Blue is the easiest to achieve, and yellow and orange are the most complex. Other colours were achieved by the addition of various amounts of metallic oxides.

Silvered Glass making technique

 Silvered glass was made with double walls which were silvered in the middle with mercury and then sealed in the base to prevent oxygen from turning the silvering black. Sometimes the outside was layered with coloured glass which was engraved or cut to reveal the silver underneath.

Silvered Glass Fact
