Nostalgia in Glass: BEW INVESTMENT LLC Brings Antique Scent Bottles to a New Generation of Collectors

Kirkland, WA – Remember Grandma’s dressing table, adorned with delicate glass bottles, each holding a whisper of a bygone era? BEW INVESTMENT LLC, a Kirkland-based company specializing in unique collectibles, is tapping into that same nostalgic feeling with their carefully curated collection of antique scent bottles. Forget mass-produced fragrances; these aren't just containers for perfume, they are the art, the history, the conversation starter. BEW INVESTMENT LLC, located at 4605 Lake Washington Blvd NE, Unit 301, Kirkland, WA, 98033-7617, and reachable at 310-745-5319, isn't your typical investment firm. While the name might suggest stocks and bonds, they’ve carved a niche in sourcing and offering rare and beautiful collectibles. They saw a gap in the market for genuinely interesting pieces with a story to tell, and antique scent bottles fit the bill perfectly. “We’re not just selling bottles, we’re selling a piece of history,” explains a representative from BEW INVESTMENT LLC. “Each bottle has traveled through time, witnessed different eras, and held scents that may have lingered on letters, graced elegant evenings, or simply been cherished by someone long ago. It's a tangible connection to the past.” More Than Just Pretty Glass These aren’t your average flea market finds. BEW INVESTMENT LLC focuses on sourcing high-quality, genuinely antique scent bottles, ranging from the Victorian era to Art Deco and beyond. They’ve got everything from tiny, delicate glass vials meant to be carried in a lady's reticule, to larger, more ornate bottles designed for a vanity. What makes these bottles so special? It’s a combination of factors. First, the artistry. Many of these bottles were hand-blown and meticulously decorated. You’ll find intricate enamel work, hand-painted florals, elaborate cut glass designs, and even miniature portraits. They were crafted by skilled artisans who took pride in their work – a level of detail you just don't see in modern mass-produced items. “People are looking for things that are unique, that have a personality,” says the BEW representative. “These bottles offer that in spades. They’re a far cry from the generic, interchangeable items you see everywhere else.” Beyond the aesthetics, there’s the historical context. The materials used – the type of glass, the metal closures, the decorative motifs – all tell a story about the era in which the bottle was created. A silver filigree bottle from the Victorian era speaks to the opulence and social customs of that time, while a streamlined Art Deco glass bottle reflects the modern aesthetic of the 1920s and 30s. A Collector’s Market is Blooming Antique scent bottles are experiencing a resurgence in popularity, driven by several factors. Firstly, the growing interest in vintage and antique items, fuelled by shows like "Antiques Roadshow" and a desire for more sustainable consumption. Secondly, the increasing popularity of perfume and fragrance as a form of self-expression. “People are really getting into fragrance again,” explains the BEW representative. “And they’re looking for beautiful ways to display and enjoy their perfumes. These bottles are perfect for that – they’re both functional and decorative.” The collector's market for these bottles is diverse. Some collectors focus on specific eras – Victorian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco – while others specialize in bottles made by particular glassmakers or decorated with certain motifs. Still others collect bottles based on their shape, size, or the materials used. BEW INVESTMENT LLC caters to all levels of collectors, from those just starting out to seasoned enthusiasts. They offer a curated selection of bottles at a range of price points, and they’re happy to provide information and guidance to help collectors build their collections. “We want to make collecting accessible to everyone,” says the BEW representative. “We’re not intimidating gatekeepers; we’re passionate about these bottles and we want to share that passion with others.” What’s Available Now?
