#62: "Color Gold Perfumery" Size: 5.65" x 2.51" Price: $240


Years ago James used to make beautiful perfume bottles like this one, but I haven't seen any new ones from him in many years, and he didn't make many of them back in the day either, so the 3 I have available are quite the rare Alloway specimens. These are quite weighty bottles made with thick glass, so they're also unusual from other perfume bottles in that way, and they could also be used as a marble stand! Each bottle has a clear ground stopper. This one features mottled color laid over top of absolutely gorgeous dichro, the likes of which I've never seen before. And you know, as I study it some more here, I think that maybe he laid down a bed of color and then laid the dichro on top of that, which allows the colors to peak through the dichro. Something like that anyway, I'm not really sure, but it REALLY looks amazing in hand! Incredibly special and unique, and extraordinarily beautiful!! Signed 'Alloway 2005 #80".
