Why collect antique perfume bottles?

They are small, light weight, and large numbers of them aren't likely to take up too much space. They come in many different colors and elegant styles, and can be quite valuable. Tempted?

Good places to start looking are online auction sites, such as eBay as well as traditional auction houses. House clearance specialists and charity shops are also worth a look. You never know what you might find if you take the time to look.

Ideas for a collecting theme

Collect by category. Eg. Atomisers, figurals or Josiah Wegwood jasperware.

You could collect by country. Czechoslovakia ,for instance.

You could collect by period , eg. Art Nouveau or Art Deco.

Or you could just collect by size, the sample size being the smallest, then working up from there. Another variant of size is color. You could select just one color or limit it to two or three. There are many possibilities. The choice is yours.
