Footnote
The design of this bottle is based on L’Effleurt scent bottle which René Lalique designed for François Coty in 1912. This example however was executed by Coty and therefore has no Lalique mark. As a result of Coty’s actions in producing the bottle, Lalique filed a lawsuit against him but for some reason the matter was not pursued in the courts.
Lyon & Turnbull would like to thank Christie Lefkowith for her assistance with cataloguing this bottle.
