💜 Antique Dorothy Vernon Perfume Bottle – Irradiated Manganese Glass – c.1900-1915 💜
This beautiful antique Dorothy Vernon perfume bottle is an elegant early 20th-century example of American perfume history. Originally produced in clear manganese glass, it now displays a lovely light lavender (irradiated purple) color that collectors prize today.
The bottle features a graceful Art Nouveau design with pinched sides, flared lobed corners, and the original embossed "Dorothy Vernon" script across the front. The hand-tooled finish indicates early manufacture, dating approximately from 1900 to 1915.
Extensive research identifies Dorothy Vernon as a perfume and toilet preparation line produced by the Jennings Manufacturing (Jennings Perfumery) Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan. While the brand is well documented in period advertisements and trade publications, this ornate bottle form appears to be quite scarce, as no exact matching examples were located during our research.
