Description from the seller
Exquisitely beautiful Neo-Rococo perfume bottle in Paris porcelain – Jacob Petit (1796–1868).
Perfume bottle (or essence bottle) in molded Paris porcelain, relief-decorated and richly adorned with polychromy and gold.
Body with a cut, asymmetrical shape inspired by Rococo Revival, featuring on both faces central reserves delimited by scrolls and vegetal motifs (rocaille) highlighted in burnished gold.
Inside the cartouches, there is fine hand-painted floral bouquet with roses and multicolored ramages.
Background decorated with enamel in an intense emerald green tone, contrasted with the raised base in pale pink.
It retains its original lid in the form of a pinnacle/pagoda with identical geometric and gilded decoration.
19th century (c. 1830–1850), Louis-Philippe Period / French Restoration.
Marked on the base, cobalt 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 enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
