The most famous were the Grandfather Clock, the Owl and the Door. Steve Mankervis  in his book ‘Plastic Passion’ (published by Schiffer) says these quirky containers are made of ‘Blue Mottled Phenolic. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis vintage Bourjois perfume holder takes the form of blue hotel door. The door is marked with the letter \"B\" and there is a little silver label on the central section with the name of the fragrance. The door opens out with a hinge to the side. There is a little black door handle (undamaged) and outside of the door are two pairs of little black shoes put out to be polished by hotel staff overnight. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe back of the door  is marked 'Bourjois – London – Paris – Regd No. 832.419 – Made in England'.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is in good vintage condition, no chips or cracks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt comes complete with its cobalt blue bottle for Evening in Paris perfume.
