RARE Coty Informal Fragrance Amphora Perfume Bottle 1940

Note: Empty bottle only. Gorgeous vintage 1940s green pottery Coty fragrance jug with handle and wooden stopper (this appears to be a replacement stopper as the originals were metal). Bottom reads: "COTY NEW YORK PARIS informal fragrance Use this lovely Eau de Toilet an lavishly as you choose. A generous sprinkle- in your bath - a dash in your hand basin - in your final shampoo rinse - on your lingerie or kerchief. Impart a touch of fragrance to your accessories or your furs. Take it with you to 'freshen up' while traveling. CONT. 5ozs COMPOUNDED IN U.S.A." These collectible amphora jugs were made by the Zanesville Stoneware Company of Ohio beginning in 1940. They held a concentrated Eau de Toilette that Coty introduced that year, which they called "Informal Fragrances". 4 or 5 different colors of the pottery each held a different top Coty scent; this beautiful green piece fittingly held "Emeraude" ("Emerald" in French). This scent is no longer in production, but was described in the following way: "Top notes are Bergamot, Lemon and Orange; middle notes are Brazilian Rosewood, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine and Rose; base notes are Opoponax, Benzoin, Vanilla, Amber, Sandalwood and Patchouli" Amphora stands approximately 5.5" tall, and 6" tall with the stopper.
