This one belonged to Betty. Betty dreamt of being a showgirl — and she definitely had the bottle to match her ambitions. A solid brass perfume atomizer in the form of a scalloped shell, with an original black silk bulb and tassel that drapes like a little evening gown. The kind of vanity piece that says more about its owner than any perfume inside it ever could. Brass has developed a rich, warm patina — golden with hints of amber — and the ribbed shell detailing catches the light beautifully. Sits perfectly on a vanity, a bathroom shelf, or styled into a curated tray. Still functional as a perfume vessel, but honestly, she deserves to be admired.
