AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

German Art Deco silver overlay perfume bottle from the 1920s/30s of the last century.
The perfume bottle is made of porcelain, pure silver, and a metal cap.
The combination of its fresh color and beautiful design gives the bottle a timeless appearance.
The bottle’s small screw-on cap is shaped like a little crown (Crowntop).

Perfume bottles like this are now sought-after collectibles and are becoming increasingly scarce.
This example is in lovely condition and might soon be proudly displayed in your home!
The cork beneath the cap has partly deteriorated, but it still seals the bottle.
Otherwise, the condition is good; it has been used normally.

Please see all the photos (including for the measurements).
They form part of the description.
It will of course be carefully packed for shipping.

The German inventor Friedrich Deusch patented the silver overlay
process in 1895 and displayed his work at the exhibition
in Bordeaux in 1907. Thanks to him, the city of Schwäbisch Gmünd
became the center of German silver-coating production.

The first objects designed and produced by Friedrich Deusch
were very classical, followed by an abstract
Art Deco phase in its purest form.

After Deusch and Company, other companies specializing in this
technique were established, such as Friedrich Wilhelm Spahr’s and
Alfred and Manfred Veyhl’s. Alongside the development of German
production, similar production began in the United States.
