Perfume Presentations: Talk and Tea with Vintage Perfume Bottle Collector Susan Arthur

Perfume Presentation: Curator's Talk with Collector Susan Arthur
It’s a Valentine from us to you! Enjoy Tea and Treats and hear Susan Arthur's fascinating insights about her marvelous collection of perfume bottles, some of which are featured in “A PASSION FOR PERFUMES: Vintage Bottles by Lenox and More”, seen in our upper level History Hallway.
Susan Arthur has been collecting perfume bottles and vanity items since the mid 1990s and has received multiple awards for her original research in perfume bottle and glass history. She has served as past president and board member of the International Perfume Bottle Association (IPBA) and has authored several articles and a book on the subject.
Each piece in Susan’s collection tells a story – perhaps tied to a patent, trademark, or cultural need. Often, perfume and cosmetic brands were born from immigrant dreams, introducing new fragrances or glass-making techniques. Join us as Susan shares her collection and her journey.
