    Can someone help identify this bottle? It is very heavy 15" tall x 12" wide. It looks like it may have had a stopper. Could it be Empoli? No markings. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!! IMG_0060.jpg IMG_0061.jpg IMG_0062.jpg IMG_0063.jpg

    A factice. Too bad it's missing the stopper. Still, it's Guerlain.

    A what? I was thinking it might be a liquor bottle for a very lively game of bridge.

    Factice are giant dummy perfume bottles used for advertising. Very collectible.

    Well, merchandising rather than advertising. They're displayed at the perfume counter in a department store, for instance. Expensive to produce, even if they don't hold "juice."

    Oh, I just noticed the one I found has Guerlain written in gold on the base. Does yours have that?

    Thanks so much for the help. I did not think it would be a large perfume bottle. Yes, too bad I don't have the stopper.

    A Guerlain collector might not care.
