AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent and very rare complete set of 5 glazed ceramic tiles.
by the famous ceramicist Roger Capron (1922-2006), a master of the ceramic renaissance in Vallauris (France), around the 1960s–1970s.
Each tile measures about 15 x 12 cm, in excellent overall condition (perfect, with no cracks or visible chips), pale gray textured background with very fine polychrome enamel decorations that are narrative.
An exceptional and unique theme: vintage advertising labels from an old perfumery.
Oil with a Bouquet – Elegant lady in a striped dress and a floral bouquet (Romantic 18th-century style).
Orange Blossom Water – A classic Provençal scene: perfumer-distiller in Grasse, Provence, with a still, orange trees and flowers (text: "Perfumer & Distiller in Grasse, Provence").
Au Vert Galant – Gallant couple, Place Dauphine in Paris, historic perfumer (text: "Au Vert Galant Parfumeur Sur la Place Dauphine à Paris" – 18th‑century gallant style).
Galathée Toilet Soap / Lactified Oil – Woman with long hair holding a rose, for Dutoit Parfums Paris (caption: "Galathée Toilet Soap – Lactified Galathée Oil to Preserve Hair Beauty – Dutoit Parfums Paris").
Snow Violet (Violette des Neiges / Snow Violet) – Art Nouveau profile of a woman with flowering hair, text in Cyrillic (Slavic/Ukrainian or Russian style: "Д.Палєц-къ" or similar, "Violette" – rare label "Neigeuse Violette").
Authentic signature: On the back of a tile (the Eau de Fleur d'Oranger one), an embossed mark reading "ROGER CAPRON MADE IN FRANCE". Condition: Excellent / Pristine (slight natural aging of the enamel, authentic period patina).
Approximate total weight: light (easy to ship).
Careful shipping recommended (insurance + reinforced packaging).
A collector's gem for savvy enthusiasts – a unique opportunity!
Why is this series exceptional?
Ultra-rare narrative and advertising theme about antique perfumes (a Provençal, Parisian, and Slavic blend).
Complete and coherent series (5 related pieces).
