Jay Thorpe the fashion designer who created 4 perfumes under the name “Jaytho”, all with Lalique bottles. They were not widely distributed and are VERY RARE to find. Here is the bottle for the first one in 1927 “Méchant mais Charmant”. Méchant Mais Charmant directly translates in French to naughty but charming. But as a phrase in common use it’s more like naughty but nice. The condition of the bottle (empty) , but has some residue shown in the pictures. It is in excellent condition with absolutely no break, crack or chip. It includes the stopper. Pictures show the condtion. It is a 7cm tall (2 3/4) with the stopper, 6cm without , slightly oval bottle entirely sculpted with tulips, with a tulip shaped stopper. The neck and the top of the bottle are asymmetrical by design. There are two signatures : R LALIQUE FRANCE under the base in raised letters and JAYTHO vertical on one of the tulips. The hand etched numbers under the base in the middle are numbers that high-end glassmakers added under each bottle and stopper to insure a perfect fit (they came from different casts). I cant tell what the hand etched number is. Méchant mais Charmant is repertoires and photographed in two important books, firstly the large Marcilhac on page 938 of the 2010 French printing under reference JAYTHO 1 (photo 10), then in the book by Marylou and Glenn Utt, “The Lalique Perfume bottles” on page 103 (photo 9).
