In this guide I will show you the various new reproduction perfume bottles that are sometimes unfortunately being passed off as antique. I am sure that I will find many and this guide might be in several parts to showcase as many bottles as I can locate. I will note the manufacturers whenever possible. This guide is devoted to the perfume bottles by Silvestri.
As I understand it, Silvestri started selling reproduction antique perfume bottles sometime in the late 1980s and into the 1990s. The bottles were made in Taiwan for Silvestri. Sometimes you will find the bottles and their original boxes, but a lot of the time, you will just find the bottle. Silvestri is a trade name used by the company Syratech.

The perfume bottle shown below is a reproduction of an antique bottle. This is their "Sarah" bottle and features a draped nude amongst flowers and is made of pink glass. The original antique bottle is clear glass and has an applied pink patina over very satiny smooth frosted molded designs, the molding is also very crisp, whereas the reproduction is blurry and the frosted areas are very rough looking.

Hi! I have an art deco Silvestri Reproduction Perfume Bottle, pale purple in color. It looks different from any you posted on eBay. Do you want a photo of it for your collection? Do you know what these are worth?
