Features: This book compiles the 5,000-year history of perfume bottles, showcasing their ever-changing appearances and styles over time. With the rise of collecting fever and the expanding horizons of the Chinese people, the categories of collectibles have continuously broadened, evolving from traditional items like ceramics, paintings, and jade to new and unique categories such as oil lamps, lighters, and perfume bottles. The theme of perfume bottles, covered in this book, is a highly favored art collectible among domestic collectors in recent years, especially young and female ones. However, there is a lack of theoretical knowledge about the development history and collection value of perfume bottles. This book can be considered the first comprehensive and systematic introduction in China that explores the entire development process of perfume bottles from ancient Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt to the mid-20th century, including their materials, designs, and packaging changes. It features nearly 500 exquisite images, making it highly valuable for appreciation, and also offers significant reference value for those engaged in applied art design.
