Here’s a few more hot collectables to consider when shopping for future antiques…
Speciality perfume bottles are quickly becoming a collectable of choice in both North America (USA and Canada) and the UK.
Although there are a wide variety of personal favorites and lots of speculation, the current trend is in the ornate and shapely bottles of the premium brands. Have a look at the current Jean Paul Gaultier brands (I’ll try to post a few photos here tomorrow for you). Jean Paul Gaultier also designed an aftershave bottle that you will quickly recognize if you know his style at all - it has a stripey top that will remind you of his signature outfit!
Update: The Gaultier bottles are not showing below, but are some examples of this type of collectible. Gaultier collectable perfume bottles can be seen specificially here.
You can search for others in the US, Australia and Canada here, or in the UK here.
Deciding What You Should Collect
Objects of today become collectable antiques of the future for a few reasons. They may just sum up the era so well, or are made in limited quanties. They might be items commonly tossed of after normal use (think of comics, newspapers or special magazine editions). Future antiques might also be innovative designs of an era and of any sort.
