Additional Information

his set reflects the 1940s European revival of Rococo aesthetics, with soft color palettes, florid decoration, and feminine ornamentation made for private dressing spaces. The pink glaze and floral sprays mimic 18th-century Sevres influences, while the gold detailing and structural shape suggest a mid-20th-century reissue for export. French vanity bottles of this type were often gifted or sold as decorative perfume or talc containers, designed to remain on display. Though unsigned by a major house, the craftsmanship and materials are consistent with post-war porcelain production from Limoges or Paris ateliers. Sets like these were frequently sold through fine department stores or boutiques, bridging luxury with domestic ritual.
