Description from the seller
Rare figurative decanter bottle (liquor bottle) in precious artistic porcelain/ceramic, dating from the full Art Déco period (1920s/30s), most likely of German or Italian manufacture.

The lad wears a uniform, cap and white gloves typical of the Art Deco period, holding a bucket of ice.
The head of the figure is removable and acts as a stopper, revealing its nature as a container for liqueurs or spirits.
The piece is entirely decorated and hand-painted.
An object of great visual impact, perfect for collectors of European déco ceramics or vintage barware.
