Mappemonde Perfume Bottle c1920s

Very rare perfume bottle from the 1920s. It has a small frosted glass airplane for the stopper, the bottle itself is a large world globe on a pedestal, with clear glass representing the oceans and frosted glass representing the continents. It was made to commemorate the epic of aeronautics. The bottle stands 5" tall x 3.5" diameter.

Used by different perfumers for the South American market. This would have had a black and gold box, cover retained by a pink ribbon, bright interior.

Label in pendant with the inscription "Florence" on one side and design of an airplane on the other (circa 1920).

Reference: Perfume Presentations, p.197. € 850/900
