Antique scent bottles

I started my collection of scent bottles more than forty years ago. Made of different materials over a long period from antiquity to 1940, they now comprise a collection of over 1200 pieces produced mostly in Europe, but not only. All containers are no taller than 9 cm (3 inches).
