LADY LILLIAN perfume bottle?

vintagemaui · Sep 22, 2010

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this company, or it's bottles. I've searched all over the net with little luck. I have a teeny tiny (depression era?) perfume bottle with diamond cut glass. Does this ring a bell to anyone?

Aloha Lauren,

Welcome to A-BN, and thanks for bringing this Deco darling. You're right about there being scant information on the ole www.

"Lady Lillian USA Established in San Francisco in 1875; created a fragrance for City of Paris" From Perfume Intelligence.

The City of Paris was a wonderful pioneer San Francisco department store that was originally The City of Paris Dry Goods Company in 1850.

"The 'Lady Lil' has a lovely ART DECO bakelite cap that has "LADY LILLIAN" molded into the bakelite along with varying sized diamond patterns too. This pattern carries through to 3 sides of the bottle. This is in excellent condition too & measures 1 7/8" (h) x 3/4" (w) x 5/8" (d)." From.

I believe they also made other cosmetic items.

"5) tiny 7/8" tin for Lady Lillian nail white" From.

"Art Deco Box by Lady Lillian

I believe this once held perfume : ) Measures 6 1/3â€ long by 6â€ wide by 1.75â€ tall. Hard black plastic with no lining." From.

There's an atomizer Lady Lillian at a certain electronic auction place.

I'm wondering if the "Lady Lillian" in question is named for

the lovely Lillian Russell.

ahhh. i WISH i could find the cap. unfortunately it musta got seperated from the bottle either pre-dump or the people who previously dug the site before me threw it around uncerimoniously, in which case i'll never find it

I just found a LL bottle roaming around in my yard. I noticed what looked like old glass surfacing through erosion in my lawn and saw the bottle. Took me a minute or two to find this site.
The top isn't screw type and has a chunk out of it.
Now to find Jean Lafitte's treasure...
