Historical bottles

Eleven historical bottles, sorted by date. Perfume and scent bottles in museum collections, described from each museum’s own open record: historical objects, not Radler products.

Each line is one record page: the name, a short fact, and the first line of the record. Every field on the page carries its source. Choose a group to show only that group; “All” shows them all again.
