Transcript of convention schedule pdf [link] - perfumebottles.org Perfume Bottle Association -26 th Annual...
We’re going to the birthplace of glass in the U.S. Before steel
making of the early 20th century, Pittsburgh was creating glass.
As early as the 1820s Pittsburgh was a major distributor of glass
products. Pittsburgh glass was used for globes that lit the
nation's streets, windows for homes, and jars for food. By the
Civil War, Pittsburgh's glass trade was a $7 million business with
20 bottle and vial factories, 23 window glass factories, 22 flint
glass factories, and a number of glass producers devoted
exclusively to the production of glass chimneys. What an ideal
place for our 26th annual convention.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 30TH
Heinz History Center/ Lunch at LeMont on Mt.
Washington / National Aviary Enjoy a full day of
Pittsburgh's best
attractions. You
will start at the
fantastic "Heinz
History Center."
From the
pre-revolutionary
drama of the
French & Indian
War to the legendary match-ups of the Super Steelers, discover 250
years of Pittsburgh history at the Senator John Heinz History Center.
An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, the History Center is the
largest history museum in Pennsylvania. You'll tour the center's long-term
exhibit “ Glass: Shattering Notions” which transports visitors back to a time
when the ancient art of glass making was used to build Pittsburgh's future. It
marked the birth of the glass industry – and it happened right here in
Pittsburgh. The exhibit showcases the beauty, science, utility and
technology of Western Pennsylvania glass over the past 200 years.
From the Heinz Center you will travel up Mount Washington for lunch at
LeMont with its fantastic food and view of downtown Pittsburgh. Choose
between Chicken Marsala (Chicken sauteed with a mushroom blend in a
sweet Marsala wine sauce); or Lemon Sole (Sole lightly breaded and served
with lemon butter). Both include green salad and desert - Strawberry Melba
- vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries and a raspberry Melba sauce.
Your tour will then proceed to The National Aviary. The Pittsburgh
National Aviary is a vast indoor aviary and the biggest of its kind in the
United States, being home to around 600 birds. Attractions are
extremely varied and
range from outdoor
bird shows and,
feeding displays, to
personal encounters
with penguins. The
National Aviary's
large walk-through
exhibits create an experience unlike any other – an intimate,
up-close interaction between visitors and free-flying birds, including
opportunities to hand-feed and meet many species rarely found in
zoos anywhere else in the world.
Price per person for the tour is $85.00 which includes luxury passenger coach transportation, tour guide, sit-down
lunch salad and desert with your choice of Chicken Marsala or Lemon Sole (see complete descriptions above). Space is
limited to the first 52 registrants. Tour Length 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM.

THURSDAY MAY 1ST
Frank Lloyd Wrights’s Fallingwater
Fallingwater is included on many lists including the Smithsonian Life
List of 43 Places to See Before You Die. Don't miss this fantastic
opportunity to view this icon of American architecture
If the skyscraper is America's most iconic building, a small personal
residence in southwest Pennsylvania might be its most ingenious.
Frank Lloyd Wright completed Fallingwater in 1937, and months later
Time magazine put the house on its cover, proclaiming it the architect's
"most beautiful job." Wright designed it in 1935, at his professional
nadir, as a mountain retreat for Pittsburgh retail mogul Edgar J.
Kaufmann, who wanted a home near the waterfalls of Bear Run.
Wright took that notion to its extreme. "I want you to live with the
waterfall," he is said to have told Kaufmann, "not just to look at it."
Cantilevered concrete terraces hover some 30 feet above the falls. The
incessant sound of rushing water permeates the home, yet never overwhelms. A boulder juts
through the living room and doubles as a hearth. Low ceilings direct attention outside. "You've
never seen a building that fits with nature so tightly," Toker says. "It's not merely nature, it's
animated. You've seen Vegas and Times Square, but you've never seen a building that's in
constant motion." You’ll enjoy a box lunch and refreshment on the way back to the hotel.
Price per person for the tour is $75.00 which includes pre-departure coffee and rolls, bus
transportation, entrance fees to Fallingwater, and a box lunch - choose from ham, turkey, roast beef or vegetarian.
Space is limited to the first 52 registrants. Tour Length 8:00 AM - 3:15 PM.
SATURDAY, MAY 3RD
Gateway Clipper - Captain’s Dinner Dance Cruise
The perfect night out in Pittsburgh is aboard the Gateway Clipper's signature cruise, the Captain's Dinner Dance. This
extraordinary evening features an unparalleled view of one of world's most exquisite
skylines as you cruise the three rivers of Pittsburgh - the Monongahela, Allegheny, and
Ohio , a tantalizing buffet, live music and dancing under the sparkling city lights. A typical
buffet menu includes Hand Carved Rosemary Encrusted Roasted Strip Loin of Beef
served with a Demi Glaze, Sauteed Chicken Breast served with Orange-Cranberry
Sauce, Parmesan and Garlic Roasted
Red Skin Potatoes Rice Pilaf with
Smokey Bacon, Onion and Green Peas, Buttered
Baby Carrots, Caesar Salad, Vermicelli Pasta Salad Chocolate Volcano
Cake, Lemon Roulade, Fresh Dinner Rolls with Butter, Hot Coffee & Hot
Tea.
Price per person for the tour is $95.00 which includes luxury motor coach
transportation, Captains dinner Dance Cruise, meal and driver gratuity.
(Note: alcoholic beverages are not included in price). Space is limited to the
first 52 registrants. Tour Length 5:15 PM - 10:15 PM.

OUR 2014 PRESENTATIONS”
"Scents in Cinema"Hosts: Susan Arthur & Jeffrey Sanfilippo with Ken Leach as Media Consultant
The International Perfume Bottle Association is pleased to present to you "Scents in Cinema." From the
early talkies to the slick multi-million dollar productions of today, scents and their beautiful vessels have played
diverse roles from background and period staging to "setting the mood" to starring as a feature "character" in the plot!
Vessels of scents on a movie set are used to decorate a room, create a mood, trigger a memory, provide clues in the
subplot, link a historical period, or establish a level of wealth and class. Protagonists can wear scent, savor scent, tout
scent or trash scent!
Do you remember the classic Double Indemnity? Directed by Billy Wilder in
1944, Fred MacMurray is an insurance salesman and Barbara Stanwyck is a
provocative housewife who wishes her husband were dead……
MacMurray: You'll be here too?
Stanwyck: I guess so, I usually am.
MacMurray: Same chair, same perfume,
same anklet?
Stanwyck: I wonder if I know what you
mean.
MacMurray: I wonder if you wonder.
How about the 1992 drama Scent of a Woman that starred Al Pacino as a blind, alcoholic,
grouchy retired Army officer who wears Olgeby Sisters Soap and admires Donna's Caron
Fleurs de Rocaille? Join Jeffrey and Susan, as they explore "Scents in Cinema" – they
promise an entertaining format filled with lots of movie clips of your favorite bottles and
fragrances. There will be audience participation, factoids and maybe even some popcorn!
DeVilbiss – Beyond the CatalogsMarti DeGraff and Toby Mack, Presenters
Marti and Toby's newly published book, "DeVilbiss Perfume Bottles: 1907 to 1968",
Schiffer Publishing Company, will become available in February 2014. This
presentation will highlight some of the special areas uncovered in their extensive
research, and found in their substantial archive of DeVilbiss Company records.
Features include never-before seen factory
documents, including artist renderings of new
designs, production specifications and
documentation of bottles not found in DeVilbiss
catalogs, and selections from uncirculated catalogs
showing product lines prior to 1922. Also included will be important new recent
discoveries from their advanced collection of DeVilbiss. Some of this material is
neither included in their book nor available elsewhere, so this will be a unique
opportunity to enrich your knowledge beyond what's currently published.
International Perfume Bottle Association -26th
Annual Convention - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Page 7
Their book is the first-ever complete guide to collecting and understanding the perfume bottles
and related vanity products produced by DeVilbiss. It includes over 900 photos of 1,000 bottles,
lamps, and accessories from the authors' extensive collection and several of the other most
important DeVilbiss collections in America. Their book provides information from
never-before-seen DeVilbiss Company archives, including specifications, design and engineering
drawings, product descriptions, and company correspondence. Special focus is given to the glass
manufacturers that supplied bottles to DeVilbiss. Also included is an exploration of the early cut
and decorated bottles from Bohemia and the American Brilliant period, the opulent designs of
the 1920s, the recovery from Depression along with new tastes of the 1930s, and the post-war
embrace of the glass masters of Murano, Germany, and France.
A Fireside Chat with Annette GreenPresident Emeritus, The Fragrance Foundation
Join long time IPBA member Annette Green in an informal
review and discussion of her illustrious 40+ year career with the
Fragrance Foundation. Annette will share her latest news on
the memoir she is currently writing, "Perfume In My Veins - A
Celebrity-fueled Tale of a Trailblazer Whose Passion Powered
the Fragrance Industry in America - 1963-2003"
Recognized as one of America's leading fragrance authorities
and futurists, Annette Green was appointed President of The
Fragrance Foundation in 1980, after having served as Executive Director for 20 years of the non-profit, educational
organization. In 1991, she was elected Secretary of the Foundation's Board of Directors on which she had served since
1984. Upon her retirement in 2003, the Board of Directors named her President Emeritus.
The Fragrance Foundation's Annual "FiFi" Awards, the Oscars of the fragrance industry, were conceived by Ms. Green
40 years ago. In 1992, Ms. Green inaugurated the European "FiFi" Awards in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the
United Kingdom. Ms. Green co-authored the extraordinary never-before written reportage on the history of jewelry
designed to hold fragrance, with fashion journalist, Linda Dyett. In Secrets of Aromatic Jewelry, the authors present
this fascinating and unique art form within the historical context of fashion, fragrance and social trends. At the end of
the 20th Century, Ms. Green developed and opened the country's first fragrance museum. The Board of Directors of
the Foundation elected to name the museum, the Annette Green Museum at The Fragrance Foundation.

While you’re in Pittsburgh - WHY NOT A “DO IT YOURSELF TIFFANY TOUR”
In the late 1800s, when Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick were making Pittsburgh's name synonymous with
steel, Louis Comfort Tiffany was installing his stained glass windows in Pittsburgh churches and mansions.
Pittsburgh has more Tiffany windows than most cities of its size. Given the amount of wealth in Pittsburgh at the
time, it’s not surprising that you can find Tiffany windows in eight churches. Why not take advantage of the
2014 IPBA convention to see some of Tiffany’s beautiful works? All of these venues have different policies
regarding visits and tours, so please call ahead. On each of the maps following the “A” marks the location of the
Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown hotel, your starting point for each of the three self- tours.
North Side Tour & Map
g The largest Tiffany windows in the tri-state area are found at Calvary United
Methodist Church, 971 Beech Ave (Map B)., at Allegheny Avenue in Allegheny
