Description from the seller
Late 19th Century European Porcelain Perfume Bottle – Hand-Painted Floral Panels
Overview: This refined antique porcelain perfume bottle dates from the late 19th century and reflects the elegance and decorative richness of European porcelain production of the period. Its compact architectural form, combined with elaborate floral painting and extensive gilding, makes it a highly decorative and collectible object.
Key Details: The bottle features a square body with chamfered shoulders, decorated on each face with finely hand-painted polychrome floral bouquets framed by raised gilt scrollwork. The sides are adorned with stylized vegetal motifs in sepia tones, while the shoulders display delicate gilt foliage. The porcelain stopper, also hand-painted with floral decoration and gilt accents, completes the original aesthetic harmony of the piece.
Origin and Period: European manufacture, late 19th century, consistent with luxury toiletry or vanity items produced for the bourgeois market.
Materials and Craftsmanship: Fine glazed porcelain with hand-painted enamels and generous gilding. The relief work and detailed brushstrokes demonstrate skilled artisanal craftsmanship.
Dimensions: Height: 10.2 cm (4.02 in) Width: 7.3 cm (2.87 in) Depth: 5.3 cm (2.09 in)
Condition: Good antique condition overall, with visible wear consistent with age. An important loss is present at the top/neck area, clearly documented in the photographs. Minor wear to gilding and surface marks are also visible.
Appeal: An attractive collectible for lovers of antique porcelain, vanity objects, or 19th-century decorative arts. Ideal for display despite the documented damage.
