Art Deco, 20th Century
Figural Miniature Perfume
2 3/4″ high
Notes: French Art Deco figural perfume vial container with original internal glass scent vial with stopper, c. 1920. Made of painted and gilt celluloid the figure unscrews at the waist to reveal the blown glass bottle. The clear glass scent with red and blue stripes has a cinched neck and flat-polished mouth. We are uncertain as to the identity of the figure: the person is wearing a red suit with tails and an applied orange boating type hat, they appear to be singing.
