Ten historical perfume bottles from the house of J. G. Mouson & Co., 1920s and 1950s

This exquisite collection features ten historical perfume bottles from the house of J. G. Mouson & Co., spanning the vibrant design eras of the 1920s through the 1950s.

The Iconic Mouson Lavender

The set includes four distinct presentations of the classic Mouson Lavender:

• 25ml Bottle: Fully preserved with a brass ball stopper, presented in a hinged original box featuring the famous Mouson coach on its Art Nouveau style lid.

• 50ml Amphora Flacon: Artfully encased in a blue plastic mesh and sealed. A small amount has evaporated, but the bottle is largely intact.

• 60ml Oval Bottle: Full and topped with an elegant glass stopper.

• Refillable Atomizer: A Lavender flacon designed as a refillable atomizer; it is currently empty.

Design Classics and Rarities

These pieces stand out for their exceptional design and historical context:

• Tai Tai (1924, 15ml): Almost completely preserved with its original box. The box is cloth-wrapped and decorated with intricate 1930s Chinese-style graphics, making it one of the brand's classic collectibles.

• Men's Perfume (1920s–1930s, c. 20ml): Only residue remains, but the flacon is wrapped in plaid fabric and rests in a highly original box decorated with a tie on the lid.

• Bambus Eau de Cologne (1930s–1940s, 12ml): Rare, about three-quarters full, in its original box. This box is further packed in an original trade carton bearing a label and a fascinating handwritten note: "Belongs to my collection."

• Mouson Lavender Aftershave (Rasierwasser): From the 1940s–1950s (c. 50ml), this bottle is fully preserved.

Miniature Treasures

The collection is rounded off by two rare miniatures:

• Maiglöckchen Muguet (1925, c. 5ml): A rare piece from 1925, now empty.

• Chiffon (1950, 7ml): A small flacon of the 1950 fragrance that is still completely filled.

• The items show signs of use consistent with their age.

• Due to the age of the perfumes, no guarantee can be given for the quality of the fragrance.

• The perfumes are offered without a display.
