1930s Art Deco Coty Perfume Bottle in Original Brass Lighter Style Case
About the Item
Rare 1930s Art Deco Coty Perfume in Cigarette Lighter-Style Brass and Bakelite Case
This exquisite Art Deco Coty perfume presentation from the 1930s is a rare and collectible example of the era’s fascination with glamour, innovation, and clever design. Styled in the form of a cigarette lighter, the piece features a brass case accented with vivid teal Bakelite details. The case opens—by lifting the lid and pressing the Bakelite button—to reveal a small, decorative glass perfume bottle tucked inside, beautifully adorned with an elegant fluid Art Deco leaf motif and a Coty gold-embossed paper seal.
The bottle still holds the faint fragrance of its original floral perfume, a romantic echo of early 20th-century luxury. The case has age-appropriate surface wear, adding to its authentic vintage charm. The inner release is not spring-loaded, requiring manual operation—an expected detail of early 20th-century mechanics.
This piece belongs to a fascinating niche of Art Deco vanity accessories from the 1920s and 1930s, when travel-sized beauty items were ingeniously disguised to resemble functional objects like lipstick cases, compacts, flasks, and lighters. These elegant and portable designs were both fashionable and discreet, offering stylish women the convenience of touch-ups on the go with a dash of novelty and allure.
Coty, founded in 1904 by François Coty, revolutionized modern perfumery by bringing French fragrance to the masses while maintaining elegance and quality. The brand became synonymous with luxurious presentation, often collaborating with master glassmaker René Lalique, who designed some of Coty's most iconic perfume bottles. While this particular bottle is not a Lalique design, it shares the same attention to Art Deco aesthetics, detail, and presentation that made Coty a trailblazer in cosmetic packaging and design.
This Coty perfume case is a superb example of Art Deco design, ideal for collectors of vintage perfume bottles, Bakelite accessories, and ladies’ vanity items. Its compact size and unique form make it a standout piece for any collection.
