Antique Apollo Perfume Bottles

I found these little darlings on Etsy. Waiting for them to ship.

I first decided on a particular theme for my vanity set when I saw this set for auction from DuMouchelle's gallery. The estimate was a very affordable $100-$200. I went for my very first auction ever intending to go as high as two hundred and learned the bitter reality of the auction world. Sometimes things go MUCH MUCH higher than estimated! I backed off at $500.

I vowed then and there that I would acquire a complete antique filigree vanity set. I began researching and found the Apollo company. A company that produced spectacular pieces from 1902 to 1922. 

 I have a small mirrored tray that is Apollo and soon these two. Let the collecting begin!
