This lot contains a 1980-1987 Guerlain L'heure Bleue Eau de Toilette Perfume Bottle. L'Heure Bleue or 'the bluish hour', was created by Jacques Guerlain in 1912. The bottle was designed by Pochet et du Courval. The black and gold oval label indicate the bottle is from 1980-1987. Previously from 1923 to around 1979 Guerlain used the newsprint dolphin label. Eventually in 1987 the label was removed altogether and they created the logo using serigraphy.The bottle's age can also be indicated by the stopper. This stopper is made of gilded glass with a screw on plastic dowel.


It is approx 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 6 3/4" and it weighs about 12.9oz. Overall vintage perfume bottle is in good used condition with some normal wear consistent with aging and use. The bottle is less than half full. Please reference all of the photographs as they are a part of the description.
