Jenny Altman Harris recently made an intriguing discovery while walking along a beach in Ocean City, New Jersey, during low tide. As she strolled, she noticed something glimmering in the sand. Upon closer inspection, she was astonished to find a glass perfume bottle, fully intact and likely buried for many years. Excited by her find, Harris shared her experience with the Wildwood Video Archive, recounting how a passing woman also became equally thrilled upon seeing the bottle.
Harris’s curiosity led her to research the bottle’s origins. She discovered it was a La Bohème perfume bottle, a collector’s item renowned for its exquisite Art Deco design. The bottle was created by Maurice Dépinoix, a 19th-century French artist, and was produced for the Arly Paris perfume house in 1915. The design features a clear and frosted glass flacon shaped like a stylized eye, complete with intricate details and a frosted gray patinated boss stopper.
The discovery of such a piece is rare, and its historical and artistic significance makes it a valuable find. Similar La Bohème perfume bottles have been sold at auctions for hundreds of dollars. Harris has not yet revealed what she plans to do with the bottle, but its potential value and collectible status make it a noteworthy discovery.
