Description

Vtg Antique Richard Hudnut White Lilac Perfume Bottle Empty RARE No Stopper My grandmother had a bottle collection, and this is one of her bottles. This beautiful little Richard Hudnut perfume bottle has an interesting shape. It has side seams. Although I could find quite a few Richard Hudnut perfume bottles on the internet, I can't find another one shaped like this. Please see pictures. There are no cracks or chips on this beautiful little bottle. The label is faded and has some edge wear. Looking at the front of the bottle, at about 7 o'clock, there are some lines in the glass which appear to be part of the manufacturing process. I don't have the stopper for this bottle. From the label: White Lilac Richard Hudnut New York The bottle is approximately 2 1/2" tall. It is approximately 3 1/8" wide on the widest part of the bottle. Here's some information about Richard Hudnut from the internet: Richard Alexander Hudnut (June 2, 1855 – October 30, 1928) was an American businessman recognized as the first American to achieve international success in cosmetics manufacturing. The company once maintained separate US and European headquarters in NYC and in Paris. Although his fortune had been built around cosmetics and beauty products, he preferred to be known as a "perfumer". In 1873, aged 18, Richard Hudnut joined his father’s business. Exactly how or why he began to make scents for his father’s pharmacy is unclear. His brother William notes that Alexander Hudnut played no part in their development and Richard’s first fragrances, released in 1880, were formulated before he had visited France to see first-hand how things were done in Grasse. Apart from some trade promotions and the occasional placement by agents or stores who carried his products in other American cities, there is little mention of his wares in the press until 1914. One reason why Richard Hudnut desisted from advertising broadly was to give his perfumes and cosmetics an air of exclusivity. Rather than use newspaper or magazine advertisements he distributed booklets to prospective customers that contained details of his various preparations. In addition, to stop the line being ‘cheapened’ by discounting, he employed a strict price maintenance policy and all retailers that carried his products had to sign an agreement to that effect. Please check my other listings. I will be listing other vintage bottles, including other vintage perfume bottles (some empty, some partially full), and I would be happy to combine shipping. Will ship within 2 days of payment...and I try to ship faster than that. Tracking/delivery confirmation is included in shipping cost. Will combine shipping on multiple purchases.
