About the Item

Pair of matching crystal perfume bottles resting in a fitted "jeweled" gold gilt casket; resting on a highly decorated mirrored tray. The maker is E. & J. Bass (marked "E. & J. B."); a manufacturer of luxury high quality items located in New York City from from 1890 to 1930. They went out of business when the Depression kicked in. They were known for their jeweled embellished ornamentation, such as this example; with this nicely appointed perfume vanity set. The gilt plated casket is raised on four bun feet and is decorated with six green "sparkling" rhinestones (three on each side); and the same rhinestone border at the top edge with raised floral swags front and back (see images). The underneath is clearly marked "Empire Art Gold" "E. & J. B." with the crown logo in the center (see image). The crystal perfume bottles are all original and not damaged in any way. They are decorated with a gold simulated band at the top. The cut glass dauber in each bottle is original and not chipped. Have a look at the image on black background---they are very attractive. The matching tray complements the perfume bottles and casket perfectly. It is also decorated around the entire surface in the same green rhinestone and raised floral wreath decor all around. The mirrored surface is further decorated in a gold leaf looking vein like pattern (see images). The tray is raised and rests on four original attached bun feet The underneath (at the handle edge) is clearly marked with the same logo and marking as the casket (see image). Condition of everything is completely original with no restoration. Both the tray by itself and casket with bottles could be stand alone items; they are that attractive. But to have them both is very special. A wonderful example of American Art Nouveau Dimensions: tray 13 1/4" long x 7 1/8' wide x 1 1/4" high casket with bottles 3 3/4" wide x 2 1/8" wide x 5 1/4" high total overall height is 5 3/4" high.

By Limoges
Located in Incline Village, NV
Uniquely decorated porcelain Limoges jar with a wide winged span nude woman and a duck flying out of her hair, perhaps beckoning her to join in the flight. Her legs and feet end as one "a la mermaid". She is quite beautiful and is holding a bouquet of flowers in front of her. The same image appears on the other side. She is hand painted with brown hair, skin tones, with white and black detail to the "butterfly like" double wings. The duck is painted brown and black. Two gold leaf bands circumvents the vessel at the bottom and two thirds up. A blue band above the gold band at the base completes the hand painted decoration of the exterior. The interior of the jar is painted a light colored lime green. The underneath is clearly marked "P L Limoges...
