A new record was set at the International Perfume Bottle Association’s (IPBA) 27th annual convention April 30 to May 3, 2015 in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
One of the convention highlights was a lively perfume bottle auction with celebrity, Nicholas Dawes, from Antiques Roadshow, as auctioneer. The IPBA hosts the longest running specialty auction of perfume bottles in the U.S. at the annual convention and this year the auction set a new overall record high of over a half million dollars. One very special perfume bottle went for $66,000; a 1957 Christian Dior Limited Edition presentation, “J’appartiens a Miss Dior” (I belong to Miss Dior) signed Tien Dior (Dior’s nickname). The bottle is a figural bottle in the shape of a dog. Other astonishing auction items were a 1920’s R. Lalique, Coty Cyclamen perfume bottle going for $19,200, a 1920’s J. Viard, Colmy C’est un Secret perfume bottle for $18,000 and a 1911 R. Lalique, L.T. Piver Scarabee powder box for $16,800. The auction included many vintage perfume bottles, compacts and other rare vanity items.
