Baccarat - Perfume bottle - Série BAMBOUS TORS - Amberina - Crystal - Catalogue 1903-1904

Baccarat – Antique Perfume Bottle – Bambous Tors Series – Model T 92 Extra – Amberina-Style Graduated Crystal – France, 1903–1904

An exquisite antique perfume bottle produced by the prestigious French crystal manufacturer Baccarat at the beginning of the 20th century.

This elegant piece belongs to the Bambous Tors series and is documented in the original Baccarat catalogue of 1903–1904, where it appears as model T 92 – Extra, Flacon forme cylindrique.

The bottle features a beautifully moulded cylindrical body decorated with elegant spiralling ribs, creating a fascinating interplay of light, transparency and colour. Its most striking feature is the remarkable graduated colouring, transitioning from rich ruby red at the top to delicate champagne and almost colourless crystal towards the base.

This spectacular effect is reminiscent of the famous Amberina glass technique, developed in the late 19th century. The process involves glass containing tiny particles of gold, which, through carefully controlled reheating of selected areas, undergo changes in their structure and produce beautiful variations of red and amber tones.

The original spherical stopper, decorated with matching spiral ribs, perfectly complements the bottle’s harmonious design.

Of medium size within the series, this example offers particularly elegant proportions, neither the smallest nor the largest version produced.

Condition: Good antique condition, without chips. There is some minor internal cloudiness resulting from previous use, visible in the photographs and entirely consistent with a perfume bottle more than 120 years old.

A beautiful and increasingly difficult-to-find example of early Baccarat decorative crystal, combining exceptional craftsmanship, sophisticated colouring and the unmistakable elegance of French Belle Époque design.

An attractive collector’s piece and a wonderful decorative object for lovers of antique perfume bottles and historic French crystal.



Baccarat is one of the most prestigious crystal manufacturers in the world, founded in 1764 in the village of Baccarat, in northeastern France, under the patronage of King Louis XV. Originally a glassworks producing window panes, mirrors, and stemware, the factory shifted to crystal production in 1816, quickly gaining international acclaim for the clarity and brilliance of its creations.

By the 19th century, Baccarat had become synonymous with luxury and refinement, supplying royal courts and aristocracy across Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. The company showcased its masterpieces at the great World Exhibitions in Paris and became known for its innovation in cut crystal designs, chandeliers, and tableware.

Today, Baccarat remains a symbol of French excellence in fine crystal, blending centuries-old craftsmanship with contemporary design, while its antique pieces—like early 20th-century stemware—are highly prized by collectors worldwide.
