Can anyone advise where in the world (literally!) I could find a
stopper to a Lalique perfume bottle? A friend has the bottle without
the stopper and I'd love to help her find one. There is a picture of
the bottle in this website:
http://www.liveauctioneers.com/auctions/ebay/138481.html
but please note that hers is not the super duper expensive one
pictured. Hers is the far more modestly-priced clear/frosted version
(i.e. not sepia).
Any ideas?

Thanks for your efforts, rainbow, but no, I'm afraid it's not the
answer. I'm trying to locate the *matching* stopper to this particular
bottle. Rather than saying "a" stopper, maybe I should have said "the"
stopper ... apologies for any confusion.

FYI, she does already have a mismatched stopper to 'make do'. We're
looking for the stopper specific to the Lalique "Deux Figurines,
Bouchon Figurines" perfume bottle.

The sepia coloured, trés expensive version is pictured at the website
I mentioned above. My friend has the colourless version of this bottle
-- a sepia or colourless matching stopper would be what I'm hoping to
locate.

Hi stressedmum,

Thank you for your clarification. 

I was unable to locate the stopper for this particular bottle. As an
alternative, would you consider buying a different Lalique bottle and
stopper(empty)?

Here are some for sale:

No can do, rainbow. This much-cherished bottle is a fait accompli and
takes pride of place on my friend's dressing table complete with
mismatched stopper. The only stopper I seek is the one that matches
the existing bottle, as per the pic. Thanks again for your efforts.

Thank you for your clarification.

Best of luck,

I recommend you contact the "International Perfume Bottle Association"
at http://www.perfumebottles.org.  In the contacts list, send an email
to Helen Farnsworth.  She should be able to hook you up to a variety
of experts who either own the bottle or know someone who does.

Many thanks, bigalofechopark-ga. What an interesting site! I've
emailed Helen and am now awaiting her response. I'll keep you posted.
