Compare an old perfume bottle by photo
Choose a photo of your perfume bottle, stopper or label. Compare visible construction and decoration with possible bottle types; the result cannot authenticate a maker, date a bottle precisely, or appraise it.
Antique Perfume Bottle Identifier
Your photo analysis
Read the bottle as a set of clues
Look at the bottle profile, base, neck, stopper fit, decoration and any atomizer fittings together. One familiar shape can appear in several periods. A label is a research lead rather than proof that the contents or container are original.
Stoppers, sprays and replacements
A replacement stopper, new bulb or repaired fitting can change the appearance of an older bottle. Photograph joins and wear without forcing a stuck stopper. Separate an observation about the bottle from a guess about an accessory.
Transcribe marks before searching
Record exactly what is legible on the base or label, including punctuation and partial letters. Compare marked examples in museum collections and documented maker catalogues; a suggested maker needs supporting evidence.
Preserve the bottle and its history
Keep labels dry, avoid polishing away surface detail, and retain provenance or old packaging. Unknown residues and contents should stay undisturbed. Consult a conservator for fragile labels or stuck fittings.
What a photo cannot establish
A photograph cannot verify glass composition, perfume contents, factory attribution, authenticity or market value. A useful result can be inconclusive and ask for dimensions or a better base view.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this authenticate a Lalique or Baccarat bottle?
No. A visible signature or familiar shape is only a lead. Copies, later decoration and replacement parts require comparison with documented examples and professional examination.
Should I remove the stopper?
Do not force a stuck stopper or disturb unknown contents. Photograph the bottle as found and ask a conservator about fragile or sealed pieces.
Can it tell the exact age or value?
No. It can describe visible construction and suggest research directions; exact dating and valuation need evidence beyond one image.
Is a camera required?
No. Choose an existing photo. The web tool has a daily free allowance separate from mobile-app purchases.
