My mother has a colection of antique perfume bottles and we want to sell, we just want to know the prices they sell.
The second person who responded to your question is right ... there is a big market out there for us people who collect them. If you sell just remember, just someone who collects will be willing to pay high dollar. Someone who sells not pay as much. If there are many bottles even there, you will not get much time so it was rare to see.
Check with eBay to see if someone has the same thing up for bid, see if you can compare to see who is or what year, if you do not know please do not try to guess who made them.Just check the auctions there are usually about 2,000 bottles there on auction.

the secret to successful vintage perfume bottles collecting
by admin
Ask around and you know that most women have a huge collection of perfumes and fragrances. They have become such an essential part of our lives that many people will not leave the house without first dabbing a few drops of our favorite perfume. However, do not be surprised if many people buy perfume not for content but for the beautiful bottles themselves! While the perfume bottles are fairly numerous, it is the antique perfume bottle that is most desired. Given the unique history, art and precision of each antique piece, some collectors do not hesitate to spend several thousand dollars just for that!
Archaeologists have uncovered the bottles of perfume in the complex of tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, and we think that the Egyptians were the first to incorporate fragrances and perfume into their cultural rituals. The most diverse materials such as gold, precious stones, glass colors and others had been used by the Egyptians to keep their fragrance. But the most used were made of alabaster that the neighboring desert of Libya provided them.
The use of glass to create antique perfume bottles were not used until 1500 BC To possess a glass perfume bottle was quite an honor in those days as they were reserved for the wealthy. Perfume was used on a regular basis during ancient times in Rome, Greece and Venice, giving rise to various perfume bottle creations. Glass perfume bottles were created in England during the 16th century, followed by the emergence of Murano glassblowers during the 17th century. The Americas did not catch wind of the perfume bottle until the mid-1700s when the importation of these objects from England started.
It was not until the 18th century that perfume bottle designs were taken seriously.In the 1800s, designers in New England began to experiment with different colors, sizes and forms, creating a multitude of beautiful antique perfume bottles that we see today. A designer even came with a bottle of perfume like the Liberty Bell in 1876! Throughout the 1900s, collectors of perfume bottles grouped by style. As a collector, you may have met the styles and designs as Steuban, Imperial, Victorian, Art Deco and Art Nouveau (bright colors)....
