Comprising: a. Lalique for Nina Ricci, post 1980. Stopper designed in the form of birds, marked. 10.5 cm high b. French perfume Factice*, Marked made in France. 15 cm high *A factice is an advertising store display bottle that is lent to a perfume vendor (department stores) by the perfume house and are not meant for retail sale. The bottles are exact replicas of the normal perfume bottles. Because these bottles are on loan, they are usually returned back to the perfume house and not sold publicly. In the early days of factices, these might be filled with perfume, but as time went on, manufacturers began to use colored water or a type of colored antifreeze, a mixture of rubbing alcohol or formaldehyde, or glycogen is used in most examples.
