Description
Offered for sale is this rare 1940s iconic Shocking perfume bottle. The fragrance was first launched in 1937 and the bottle was designed by Leonor Fini, the bottle’s shape modelled after a dressmaker’s dummy that is based on the body of Mae West. This perfume bottle measures 3 inches in height and is housed within it's leather travel case with shocking pink satin lining. The bottle has glass flowers and foliage but is missing the original tape measure that would have originally been draped around the shoulders.
This perfume bottle retains some of the original fragrance but the frosted globular stopper is frozen and I have been unable to remove it.
Since this scent bottle still contains some perfume liquid, I will be unable to ship internationally so this listing is for the UK only. Thank you for looking.
