A small decorative bottle with a stopper, typically used for holding perfume or other precious liquids.
From French 'flacon,' derived from Latin 'flasco' (flask); the term became fashionable in English during the 19th century for ornamental perfume bottles.
Perfume flacons became tiny works of art—in the 1920s-1930s, famous glassmakers like René Lalique created flacons so beautiful people collected them like jewelry, making empty perfume bottles worth thousands today.
