AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Most splendid Neo-Rococo perfume bottle in Paris porcelain – Jacob Petit (1796–1868).

Perfume bottle (or essences bottle) in molded Paris porcelain, relief-carved and richly decorated with polychromy and gold. Body of a cut, asymmetric shape inspired by Rococo Revival, featuring on both faces central panels outlined by volutes and vegetal motifs (rocaille) highlighted with burnished gold. Inside the cartouches, there is fine hand-painted floral bouquet with multicolored roses and foliage. The background decorated with enamel in an intense emerald green, contrasting with the base in a pinkish tone. It retains its original pinnacled/pagoda-style lid with identical geometric and gilded decoration.

19th Century (c. 1830–1850), Louis-Philippe / French Restoration period.

Marked on the base, in blue under the glaze, with the handwritten monogram "JP" (referring to Jacob Petit).

It is indeed in very good condition; it was highly valued.

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.
