Description from the seller
Art Deco Toilet Set – Pressed Green Glass – 1920s
A striking Art Deco toilet / vanity set dating from the 1920s, executed in vibrant pressed green glass with strong geometric relief. The sculptural, stepped forms and fan-like facets are characteristic of the early Art Deco period, reflecting the era’s fascination with symmetry, light refraction, and modern luxury.
The set consists of:
One perfume bottle with original faceted stopper
One atomizer bottle with original brass spray mechanism
One matching lidded powder box
The glass displays a beautiful luminous green tone that interacts wonderfully with light, making this ensemble a true eye-catcher on a dressing table or in a curated display.

1920s – authentic Art Deco era
Material: Pressed glass, green
Height
Perfume bottle (left): 13 cm
Atomizer bottle (center): 9 cm
Powder box: 13 cm
Condition
In great vintage condition. This is a preloved item, showing minimal traces of age and use, including a few very small, stable chips consistent with nearly a century of careful handling. One smal repair to the perfume bottle. The glass remains clear and vibrant.
Historical / cultural context
During the 1920s, Art Deco toilet sets symbolized modern elegance and personal luxury. Such sets were central elements of the fashionable dressing table, combining functionality with bold sculptural design.
