Perfume bottles can be a great - and affordable - way to bring art to your bedroom. While badly designed bottles will find themselves consigned to a sock drawer, a well crafted vial will take pride of place on the dressing table as a piece of miniature glass sculpture.

Take a look at some of our favourite designs in the gallery below and don't forget to let us know which beautiful bottles are adorning your bedroom shelves:

"Faithful to the tradition of the bottle created by the sculptor Robert Granai, with an elegant honeycomb casing around the neck, the Aqua Allegoria retain their original design but are now adorned with a golden label, more precious and distinguished than ever. The bee motif also features on its cap."

The body products are packaged in clear and opaque aqua, reminiscent of the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea."
