Description from the seller
Magnificent Neo-Rococo Perfume Bottle in Paris Porcelain – Jacob Petit (1796–1868).
Perfume bottle (or essence bottle) in molded Paris porcelain, relief-carved and richly decorated in polychromy and gold. Body of a cut, asymmetrical shape inspired by Rococo Revival, presenting on both faces central reserves delimited by volutes and vegetal elements (rocaille) highlighted with burnished gold. Inside the cartouches, a fine hand-painted bouquet of flowers with multicolored roses and foliage stands out. Background decorated with enamel in an intense emerald green tone, contrasting with the raised base in a pale pink shade. It preserves its original cap in the shape of a pinnacle/pagoda with identical geometric and gilded decoration.
19th century (c. 1830–1850), Louis-Philippe period / French Restoration.
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.
