Egyptian Perfume Bottle — Ribbed Globe, 5–6 ml (Model 07)

A jewel-toned globe on a crystal foot. Aswan’s ribbed spherical body holds saturated colour like a gemstone, framed by a pinched lace collar and gold-lined rims. It is compact, unexpectedly weighty in the hand — the first thing every buyer comments on when the sample box arrives.

That weight is Aswan’s sales argument: customers pick it up, feel real glass, and the purchase decision is made. Gift shops run it as their “handmade Egyptian glass” anchor piece; perfume retailers fill it with dark attars that glow through the ribs; interior stylists cluster odd numbers of mixed colours on trays. It is the definition of a safe first order.

Each globe is blown and ribbed by hand at the furnace in Cairo, then collared and gilded piece by piece — variations in rib and colour depth are the signature of the craft.
