Are these bottles safe for daily use?

Most glass and crystal bottles remain perfectly functional for holding modern scents, provided the ground glass stoppers fit securely. However, historical atomiser pumps often suffer from perished rubber tubing inside the bulb. Treat mechanical sprayers with care to preserve their original fittings. Many collectors prefer to display them as decorative objects rather than active dispensers.

How do I identify Czech art deco glass?

Czechoslovakian pieces from the 1930s typically display bold geometric cuts, bright contrasting colours like green or amber, and heavy geometric moulding. Workshops in the region favoured innovative combinations of pressed glass and enamel. While some bear acid-stamped country of origin marks, many rely on distinct stylistic traits such as angular stoppers and heavy faceted bodies.

Guilloche is a decorative technique involving intricate mechanical engraving beneath a translucent enamel coating. The underlying pattern reflects light through the coloured glaze to produce a shimmering effect. This finish appears frequently on the silver caps and collars of luxury dressing table bottles from the period.
