The Arched Crystal Flacon, introduced in 1930, was one of Coty’s more sophisticated Art Deco presentations and stands out for its refined architectural styling. The bottle was designed with a flat, arched profile, giving it a graceful silhouette that felt both modern and luxurious. Its gently curving form was complemented by a distinctive stepped glass stopper, a geometric detail typical of the early 1930s that added height and visual rhythm to the overall design. Crafted in clear crystal, the flacon captured light beautifully, emphasizing the purity and elegance Coty aimed to convey during this period.
This presentation was issued in two sizes—1 oz and 1 5/8 oz—and was used for several of Coty’s most important fragrances. Among the perfumes offered in this bottle were Emeraude, L’Aimant, L’Origan, Rose, La Jacée, L’Effleurt, Chypre, Paris, Styx, and L’Or. Its limited distribution and short production span have made it a genuine rarity today. Collectors note that examples seldom appear on the market; in fact, it is so scarce that many long-time perfume bottle researchers have encountered it only once. Its combination of Art Deco design, crystal craftsmanship, and limited availability places it among the more elusive treasures in Coty's line of early twentieth-century presentations.
