<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 303532, member: 136&quot;]I know there are some folks here who know a lot about perfume bottles. (I, of course, am NOT one of them!) I am asking about this one purely out of curiosity.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a small, stoppered bottle, just because it was yellow, and I happen to like yellow glass. As it turned out, it isn&#039;t actually <i>yellow glass</i>, but rather, <i>yellow stained</i>. The bottle itself is about 1<font size="3"> 3/4&quot;</font> wide and 1 <font size="3">3/4&quot; </font>tall, excluding the stopper.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was surprised to find the words FACTICE and BOTTLE MADE IN FRANCE on the bottom of it. Before seeing that wording, I had assumed it was not affiliated with any particular perfume brand, but now I&#039;m wondering if perhaps it was? (And would the yellow coloring simply have been added to mimic perfume inside?)</p><p><br /></p><p>The <i>shape</i> of the bottle is quite similar to some <i>Jean Patou</i> bottles (tho with a different style stopper) but it certainly isn&#039;t anything like Baccarat.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a couple of shots of my bottle, as well as one from a listing I happened to see on Etsy:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]99395[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99396[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The picture below is from the Etsy listing. Note that both the clear AND the yellow bottles are the same shape:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]99397[/ATTACH]</p><p>Listing from:</p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/519095591/vintage-unused-french-perfume-bottles?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=factice&amp;ref=sr_gallery_34" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/519095591/vintage-unused-french-perfume-bottles?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=factice&amp;ref=sr_gallery_34" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/519095591/vintage-unused-french-perfume-bottles?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=factice&amp;ref=sr_gallery_34</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
