Christian Dior’s first perfume, launched in 1947, was Miss Dior. The perfume was named after Catherine
Dior, Christian Dior’s sister. The perfume, still available to date, was originally conditioned in an urn-shaped flask.
The original Miss Dior flask was awarded the Canadian
Industrial Design patent CA16733 (S),
titled Flacon fantaisiste. The application for registration of the design was filed on December 24, 1948, in Montreal, Canada, and granted on Jan. 31, 1949, in Ottawa, Canada.
The Canadian industrial design drawing that was filed, together with a vintage image of the original marketed Miss Dior perfume flask, are included
below.
The Industrial Design description (in French) of the urn-shaped flask, including its rounded and flattened shape, the ovoid cap, the thin rib on each side of the flask, and the rectangular frame on the front, is included below for added detail.
Ledit dessin de fabrique consiste en un flacon à col court, aux flancs rebondis et corsé vers le bas, ce flacon étant aplati et coiffé d’un bouchon ovoïde; la face frontal du flacon comportant un encadrement rectrangualrie, une nervure étroite étant formée de chaque côté du flacon et s’étendant de la partie corsée jusqu’au dessus du col.
