Egyptian Glass Perfume Bottle — Shahd · Honey Optic Swirl with Spire Stopper, 18 cm (Model 204)

Honey-coloured glass with a twist — the plainest bottle, and the one that sells on colour alone.

Shahd, “honey”, is a twist-optic bottle in warm amber glass on a knopped, ribbed stem, with a flat 24K gold collar and a tall ribbed spire stopper. No applied work, no engraving — the colour and the twist do the work.

It is the amber bottle for attar brands whose house colour is gold, and the one we put into amber lots. Other colours on request.

Each piece is mouth-blown and finished by hand in our Cairo workshop; small variations in shape, colour and decoration are the signature of the craft.
