Topic: Perfume bottle RD 702719 – precise registration details, please?

[agincourt17]

Green pressed glass perfume bottle with metal screw-on lid (orginally plated). Raised RD number 702719 to underside. 4½ inches diameter.

Number not listed at http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/regnos08.htm

Should have been registered between November 1923 and January 1924.

Is the number in the blue book? If so, could some kind member let me have the precise registration details, please?

Glasswise it looks like Czech uranium

Thank you once again, Keith, for your mastery of the Blue Book.

I'll contact the the owner again, Christine, and see if he can check its reaction to UV light.

Dubarry Parfumerie; of 81 Brompton Road, London; established in 1917 with a French name and style as the perfume division of The Standard Tablet & Pill Company Ltd, Goldstone Chemical Works, Hove, UK; over 70 luxury perfumes presented between 1916-19, subsequently more commercial presentations until closure in the 1960’s

Dubarry Perfumery Co. Ltd. and Standard Tablet were operated from a large factory building running parallel with Hove railway station until around 1964, when they were taken over by Warner Lambert/ Richard Hudnut, and operations moved to Hampshire . The old Dubarry Perfume factory was given a new lease of life in 2009 by converting it into apartments and spaces for businesses including a gym and yoga studio. The harsh architecture is softened by beautiful green and white mosaic friezes advertising some of Dubarry's long-gone products such as Shalimar Complexion Creams and Silkashave Soap. See photos at

but there is  no indication of whether or not they bear British RD numbers.

I've had a reply from the owner of the bottle, Christine, and he tells me that there is no significant reaction to UV light.

I still go with Czech though
