Perfume Bottles
Devoid of brash ornamentation, the perfume bottles exemplify the quiet beauty of clean lines punctuated by pure rich colour.
Each design takes advantage of different properties of this incredible material.
The juxtaposition of the thin turned lip and the thick optic body characterizes Michael’s perfume bottles and sets them apart from their mass manufactured counterparts.
“ Very few glassblowers make a turned lip on a perfume bottle. It takes a significant amount of production time and usually results in thick uneven surfaces. To me, it’s a defining characteristic of my work and because I have made so many, they are completely resolved and consistent.”
Each stopper is individually handmade and matched to the bottle before being hand ground to form seal. Therefore the stoppers are bottle specific and not interchangeable.
Note: the scale of perfume bottles is larger than average, they can sit alone as a work of art.
They can be made in a smaller format so if you would like to add to a collection, please take note of the dimensions and order small if desired.
