![This is a small, clear glass perfume bottle. It is wide on the sides with subtle, symmetrical cuts and, from the front, is shaped like an upside-down umbrella. On the front, a brown, crest-like shape with the word [Shalimar] sits in the middle. The body has a clear glass foot as base support, also with angled cuts. The body tapers dramatically inward toward a small neck and its stopper: a fan-like shape made of blue glass with the words in cursive script [Guerlain, Paris].](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/120866_e3d56d0e5a290728_n.jpg "Object ID #18401045")
