Candy Perfume Girl
Australian Glass Art
Two months ago I interviewed Sandra Black a Sydney lady who collects perfume bottles.
Now most of us would see a perfume bottle as something practical. Not Sandra-she has spent a great deal of her life dedicated to her collection and after speaking with her, you understand the fascination-indeed they are lovely.
Sandra has some fabulous art deco pieces and she has had a number made by Australian glass artists. Actually she has bottles made of a large variety of materials. I thought it funny her husband said he would divorce her if she brought anymore home-but I think she sneaks them in!
Actually the history of perfume bottles is interesting and you can find out about that and Sandra here from Australian Dolls Bears and Collectables (April 2009).
