Perfume bottle - Porcelain

Porcelain perfume bottle of rectangular-section parallelepiped form, with chamfered edges, a cylindrical neck, and its original stopper shaped like a floral corolla.

The surface has a purple ground enriched with gold decoration featuring vegetal motifs, garlands, and geometric interlacing. Oval panels with white grounds appear on the two main faces, framed by gilt ornament and painted in polychrome with floral compositions.

The neck is entirely gilded, while the stopper echoes the purple color and has a cork closure.

In very good condition, with no breaks, hairline cracks, or restorations; minor wear to the gilding is consistent with its age.

France, 19th century.
