Marsh, Madelaine,
Perfume Bottles — A Collector's Guide, Miller's / Octopus, 1999.
I bought mine for £5.99. Not many pencilled note and corrections, but then I do not really deal in perfume bottles; only attributable British made examples, which are few and far between. The text on the green Crown perfume bottle, the one with the registration lozenge, needs a bit of amendment.
Recently I saw some superb early bottles at a small village hall fair near Newark. Two- and three-figure prices, but much less than the values in the book.
Do please stress to your niece that, in my opinion, silver topped bottles missing their original internal glass stoppers are a most unwise investment.
