La Fiesta, a clear crystal perfume bottle of rectangular form with cube stopper with applied gold paper label and gold cardboard presentation box. First presented in 1938 and used throughout the 1940s, this clear glass bottle was created to hold the pure parfum, and served as a standard bottle for several other Schiaparelli perfumes such as So Sweet, Sleeping, Shocking, Salut, Le Roy Soleil, Zut, etc. I believe that this sober bottle style was used in response to World War II restrictions on importations, especially glass bottles and supplies from Czechoslovakia and Italy.
This bottle is a domestic French product, Baccarat model #788, manufactured for Schiaparelli only. It is a tall, upright rectangular shape and features a faceted glass cube as the stopper. The smallest size features a stopper that has an attached dauber. The base of the bottle is usually molded with "Schiaparelli" and "French Bottle".
Fate of the Fragrance:
Discontinued, date unknown.
