AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Typology: Perfume bottle or biscuit jar (bisquitier).
Style/Era: Carlos X style (French Restoration), 19th century.
Material: Diffused opal glass and gilded bronze.
Simple, streamlined cylindrical silhouette in blown opal glass, presenting a pale sky-blue shade (matte turquoise blue) characteristic of the early 19th-century color palette.
Base and upper rim wrapped by metal rings with relief decoration of geometric patterns and stylized foliage.
Conical metal cover capped by a finial carved in the form of a plant element or fleur-de-lis, a typical ornament from the period.
Luxurious utilitarian container intended for salons or dressing rooms of the French aristocracy, for storing powder, sweets, or small jewels.
The piece shows a natural, uniform patina on the metal, consistent with its age, highlighting the contrast between the vibrant opacity of the blue glass and the shine of the bronze. No flaws.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
