In the 1940’s, stickers replaced the stamping but were soon lost or destroyed, making it difficult to authenticate. Older bottles stamped their name and origin somewhere on the bottle.
These were usually found on French bottles such as Baccarat. This was done at the factory when the stopper would have been ground to fit the bottle, the numbers are to show which bottle goes with the right stopper. Old glass bottles might have etched matching numbers on the base of the perfume bottle and on the bottom of the stopper. Also, English Registry Design numbers can also be found on perfume bottles from the United Kingdom, you can search the numbers online also. Look for a patent number on the base of the bottle, these patent dates were frequent in the 1930’s and 1940’s, you can look up the number on search engines on US patent webpages online. This lettering is fragile and can be easily lost with cleaning.
Bottles embossed with or having labels marked “Made in Occupied Japan” were made from September 1945 until April 1952.Įnameled lettering, also known as serigraphy (instead of labels), on glass bottles started being used after the 1930’s and was pretty regular feature in the 1940’s onward.
