Large-format bottle labeled “Factice Dummy,” with no identifiable brand. The piece features an organic and sculptural design, with a horizontal body of clear glass, undulating shapes, and a large stopper in a translucent green hue, creating a fluid and naturalistic aesthetic typical of promotional displays in perfume stores.

Given its dimensions, which exceed those of a conventional commercial bottle, it is likely a decorative or promotional bottle, designed for display in store windows or at points of sale. These types of pieces served an essential visual function within the perfume trade, reinforcing the product’s presence through an enlarged scale and an easily recognizable image.
