Background of Caron:

In the early years of theturn of the century, Ernest Daltroff, was beginning to get fascinated by scentand fragrance creation. So in 1903, Daltroff purchased a perfumery in Asnierescalled Parfumerie Emilia, a northwestern suburb of Paris, Daltroff\'s firstperfume was named Royal Emilia,after the shop. His business was such a success that he purchased another smallperfumery and haberdashery store from Anna-Marie Caron, called the MagasinCaron at 10 rue de la Paix, inthe fashionable heart of Parisand renamed it Parfumerie Caron. He liked the name and decided it would be easyfor his customers to pronounce in any language and remember as well as lookinggood on packaging. The perfume Royal Emiliawas renamed Royal Caronin 1904..

As the clientele grew, hetook on a partner, Felicie Vanpouille, a young dressmaker, and Daltroff\'s lover.She was made the artistic director of the company and was responsible fordesign and packaging. Many of the perfume flacons used by Caron were designedby Felicie, such as Chantecler,Royal Emilia, and others. But her best known design was forthe bottle of Narcisse Noir.This bottle was so popular that it was being copied by other companies fortheir own versions of Narcisse perfumes.

The firm continued toprosper and exported perfumes to the United States, South America, England.They opened a branch in 1923 in New York to satisfy their American cliente. Subsequentlythe firm expanded in the years between the wars and was awarded the Legiond\'Honneur by the French Government for its outstanding economic achievements.

Ernest fled to the United Statestwo years before the start of World War II, he died in 1941. Felicie laterremarried and her new name was Felicie Bergaud,and continued to run the firmuntil she sold it in 1962

The Cristalleries deBaccarat was established in 1764 in Lorraine France, under the patronage ofLouis XV, in an effort to stem the influx of Bohemian imports and reduceunemployment in the Eastern region. Baccarat has produced the finest crystalsince 1816, using 30% lead crystal in their luxurious products of superiorquality.

Baccarat firststarted making perfume flacons for Houbigant, Ed Pinaud, Guerlain and Violetduring the 19th century. During this time, the bottles had a plain, restrained,apothecary style look to them, in order to leave plenty of room for theperfumer\'s label. The same perfume bottle was used for many different perfumecompanies, for instance the #10 bottle was used for both D\'Orsay &Houbigant.

At the turn of the century,Baccarat was making bottles for other leading companies such as Lubin, D\'Orsay,Bichara and Coty. In 1911, the style of the bottles changed, and Baccarat wasinfluenced by other glassmakers like Lalique, Maurice Depinoix and JulienViard. Bottles were made in the most romantic styles, with hints of Art Nouveauand ethereal presentations of the highest quality.

Later in the late 1920s andinto the 1930s, the Art Deco movement took hold and the geometric bottles forMyon, Lentheric and Ybry are directly influenced by this. Georges Chevalierdesignd many of Baccarat\'s Art Deco bottles. Louis Sue designed the bottle forJean Patou\'s Amour Amourin 1924.

In the 1940s, Baccarat wasagain inspired by the mainstream styles and the Surrealist movement which wassweeping France.Salvador Dali lent his unique creativity and designed some bottles for Baccaratduring this time. The bottles for Schiaparelli, such as Le Roi Soleil, are the perfect examplesof the Surrealist\'s inventions.

Some of the most importantartists designed bottles produced by Baccarat, these include Georges Chevalier,Louis Sue, Julien Viard, Salvador Dali.

Identification of Baccaratbottles:

Baccarat bottlesare often only identified by documentation and experience, since early exampleswere not always marked. Bottles were systematically engraved with a mark onlyfrom 1936 onward. Prior to this, some were stamped, others had a small circularpaper label, and many have NO distinguishing mark at all. Many bottles areusually signed with an acid etched mark. After 1936, all bottles were stampedwith a logo.
