La Goutte d'Eau - Teardrop Flacon c1952

In 1952, Lancôme introduced a special perfume bottle called "la Goutte d'Eau", the teardrop, to hold 1/5 oz extraits of Magie and Trésor. It was designed by Georges Delhomme and most likely made by Verreries de Bresle who manufactured most of Lancôme's flacons.


The bottle is made up of polished clear crystal and has a brass screw cap fitted with a loop with a silk ribbon attached, which can be removed so that the bottle could be suspended from a necklace, pin or chatelaine.  The bottle measures 3 3/4″ in length x 1 5/8″ wide.  The brass screw cap will be engraved with "Lancôme" and either "Magie", "Peu Etre" or "Trésor".
