These are very old perfume bottles from the late 1800's early 1900's. Other than being well balanced with a nice use of colour the labels on these bottles seem rather unremarkable. However each of these labels was hand painted with a pen and brush. I was looking at high resolution images and when I zoomed in and looked really close I could see little flaws in the lettering and paintwork that could only have arisen from the fact that they were hand painted. I was in awe of the skill and craftsmanship of the graphic design work.
