Le Tallec - Perfume flask - Porcelain

Porcelain perfume bottle, Vieux Paris, dating from the 19th century, is a polylobed-shaped piece about 13.5 cm tall and about 10 cm wide. Weight approximately 285 g.
Its decoration, entirely handmade, consists of gold-finished latticework, purple stars, and delicate laurel garlands. The removable stopper has a slight looseness, testifying to its artisanal craftsmanship.
transcription of the handwritten inscription appearing beneath the base:
« Drawn and painted entirely by hand by C. Galluc in Paris »
This signature confirms that it is the work of a porcelain decorator-painter, a common practice in Paris in the 19th century where independent artists or those attached to small workshops would decorate “en blanc” pieces from the major manufactories. The mention "C. Galluc" refers to the artist who carried out this specific painting and gilding work.
