Notes
This perfume bottle, decorated with four cicadas at each corner, was created during Lalique's Art Nouveau period. This was one of his generic perfume bottles that could be bought empty and was not commissioned by a specific perfume house.
The body of the bottle is blown-moulded, while the stopper is press-moulded; this was common for Lalique perfume bottles.
