Perfume bottles have a long history. The oldest manufacturer discovered dates back to around 1850 BC in Greece. Perfume bottles were originally used for religious and medical applications. I painted plants and flowers of the four seasons on this small, pretty perfume bottle. Although crearing this piece was difficult due to its smallness, I made full use of miniature painting techniques to draw more than 50 species of plants and flowers.
