Melisande Perfume Presentation c1954

Lancome introduced "Melisande" in 1954, a beautiful figural bottle of a standing lady made up of pink tinted opalescent glass. This luxury presentation was used for various perfumes including Magie, Fleches D'Or and Tresor and was designed by Georges Delhomme and produced at Verreries Parant.  Founded around 1824, this glassworks is more recent than the Verrerie Blanche, associated for a while with the Baccarat crystal factory.








Art et la Mode, 1954:
"MAGIE" de LANCOME présenté dans la statuette de cristal MELISANDE." 

L'Art et la mode, 1959:
"Tresor and Fleches d'or, contained in a frosted crystal bottle representing the beautiful Melisande with long hair: the exquisitely feminine art object..."


L'Art et la mode, Issue 2763,
"Mélisande is a lightly colored crystal statuette, whose material evokes and gives effects comparable to those of a hard stone. It is a small masterpiece of line and taste. Mélisande contains, at your choice, the Lancôme's famous perfumes: Magie, Trésor, Flèches or Kypre, which are the richest compositions of our time."
