Discover the ancient art of fragrance with these captivating perfume bottles from different eras. The Aryballos containers, dating back to 625-600 BCE and late 6th-5th century BCE respectively, were used to store precious oils. Crafted by unknown creators, their delicate forms showcase the skill and creativity of ancient artisans. Intriguingly, a Hydriske from the mid-4th / early 3rd century BCE adds a touch of mystery with its unknown creator. This vessel would have held scented oil, transporting one's senses to another time. Moving forward in history, an Alabastron container created by Diosphos Painter around 500-480 BCE demonstrates the elegance and refinement associated with perfumery during that period. Fast-forwarding even further to London in 1816, we find Alex Ross preparing perfumes for none other than the Emperor of China. This engraving captures a moment where East meets West in the world of fragrances. Returning to antiquity once again, an Aryballos shaped like a right foot (7th-6th century BCE?) piques our curiosity about its purpose and symbolism. Jumping ahead several centuries brings us to Europe in the late 19th century. A casting bottle showcases European craftsmanship while keeping secrets locked within its ornate design. Italy also contributes to this olfactory journey with a mysterious scent bottle from the 19th century whose creator remains unknown. Its intricate details hint at tales yet untold. An Attardan perfume bottle paired with a tray transports us into the opulent world of royalty during the18th/19th centuries—an era when fragrance was not only cherished but displayed as an emblem of status and sophistication. Finally, an Alabastron container from possibly between the 3rd and1st centuries BCE invites us once more into antiquity's enigmatic allure—a reminder that even after millennia have passed, the allure of fragrance remains timeless.
