Title: French Perfume Flacon Unknown Maker
Post by: msiscoe on April 19, 2016, 06:56:22 AM: Hello,

I recently purchased this Perfume Flacon, acid etched Made in France to the base. It is of high quality, but not Lalique. Does anyone know who the maker was?

Many thanks,

I do not think anyone has sufficient insight in their productions to attribute yours with any confidence - unless it is the local musée.

Post by: Ivo on June 04, 2016, 04:53:07 PM: Helen that is an amazing level of detail.
Julien Viard bottles ( I looked it up) were made by Baccarat, Depinoix, Maugenest, Pochet et du Courval, Bobin and Sté Parisienne de Verreries - so the confusion regarding the producer still rules. But at least designer and approx dates have now surfaced.
A grand entrance to the G M B - thank you so much and welcome.

Neither is anyone else using hotmail, outlook or live mail email addresses! http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,61658.0.html

If you have an alternative address it would be sensible to change to it.
