From the early 19th Century, perfume became available to the masses when perfumers and chemists began selling or giving away as samples in small disposable glass bottles. These simple, naïve bottles came to be known as “throwaways” since they were generally tossed out when empty. Throwaways were made in England and Bohemia and were used till the end of the 19th. C. Besides acting as sample vials for perfumers, they were also given away at spas. You will sometimes hear them referred to as “attar bottles”, or “Oxford lavenders.”
