• Details
  Charming Paris porcelain bottle or flask depicting a romantic theatre actress holding a stage mask in her left hand.
  Created around 1850–1870, this piece perfectly illustrates 19th-century Parisian art, blending elegance, expression, and decorative refinement.
  
  The actress, dressed in a pink dress with puffed sleeves adorned with gold motifs, an enameled green bodice and blue trousers, adopts a graceful and theatrical attitude, typical of figurines inspired by the romantic scene.
  It is supported by a tree trunk, a classic element in 19th century porcelain compositions.
  The light-colored cap is fitted with a cork stopper, allowing the piece to serve as a decorative flask or bottle.
  The bright and contrasting palette, enhanced with fine gilding, testifies to the know-how of Parisian workshops such as Jacob Petit or Samson, famous for their figurative porcelains.
