In this guide I will introduce you to the world of vintage perfumes with figural stoppers.

I have been very specific to keep this guide about stoppers that feature people rather than animals. There will be stoppers made up of nude ladies, clowns, heads, as well as some male figures. Some of these bottles were manufactured by Lalique, Baccarat, Maurice Depinoix and designed by notables such as Julien Viard. I will provide a description of each bottle, and show a picture and current value if possible. I know I don't have every bottle listed, but these are the ones I have found in books so far. If I missed one, please let me know! Since ebay only allows 10 pictures per guide, I have provided clickable links to my other guides which show some perfumes I couldn't add here.
